While you're at it, would it be possible to make javatoolkit a little
bit easier for use prefix folks to maintain?  We're happily running Java
in our prefixes so any cooperation here would be greatly appreciated.

We currently apply this patch:
http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/alt/browser/trunk/prefix-overlay/dev-java/javatoolkit/files/0.2.0-prefix.patch
(trac is a bit picky about it, so please look at the plain text version
of it)

As you can see, Prefix is mainly concerned with shebangs (/usr/bin/env
python should work for everyone just fine), and with adding the offset
prefix in the installation paths.  I understand that not every path can
be dropped, but it would be great if the make stuff could be simplified,
by e.g. having a variable for the prefix (defaulting to /usr) such that
we could just simply only patch that one, instead of every place, as in
the patch.

Thanks,
