Maybe I am not understanding the configure options correctly, or --help is not
showing all them. What I want to acomplish:

1. Build Java-Gnome (or at least java-gtk and java-glade packages) using only
GCJ/GIJ, no need for another JVM/javac. So far configure allways complains it
needs a JDK. :-(

2. Then I'd try to hack java-gnome so it builds using mingw/msys, the Win32
port of GCC and GCJ. I tried to hack the conventional build, but it proved to
be too hard (at least for me) to reconciliate the differences betweeb
Posix-based conventions of make, bash and so on (from msys) and Windows
conventions from the JDK. I managed to get some results, but no simple app
could be made to run. I hope using only GCJ will ease the Win32 port.

If it's possible to to this using 0.8.2, I'll insist and apreciante any hint.
If it isn't, I'll try to move to the development version.
