have Jython running  on our modified Kaffe version (Guaran=E1) that=20
I probably rushed things over. I apologize for the unprecise information=20
given.

The status is the following (after having my ear pulled deservedly):

 - Kaffe does not run the jython's  installer properly.

 Kaffe triggers the installer all right, asks for install profile, but du=

 copying it accuses: ``can get instance of an SHA-1 Digest Object''
 Is this supposed to be in the JVM class libs or is it bundled within=20
 the installer ? Apparentely, the script failed right after creating the =

 - Through the ``add_package'' workaround, it is possible to circunvent K=

I did it with the following results...
