Re: [java-gnome-hackers] symlink

I think it's only a minor bug so we can wait two weeks. We should
backport this (and any others?) to 0.8 though and release 0.8.3.

I really should check things more before sending them.

It should read:

ln -s libgtkjava$(gtkapiversion).so.$(gtkversion) $(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/libgtkjava$(gtkapiversion).so

(This creates a relative link, so the entire directory can be moved if
wanted without messing up the links)

One other thing I was going to propose:
I think we should add
  -rm $(DESTDIR)$(libdir)/libgtkjava$(gtkapiversion).so
before *all* ln lines.
When people install, they expect the new installation to be
automatically made the default. 
Any objections to this?
