I'm sorry Arttu, I spoke too soon.  I only did a cursory check before.
 The program doesn't seem to work at all when installed via the new
ebuild.

The only way I can get the program to run properly is to install via
the old ebuild, 'chmod 755 /usr/lib/JAlbum/startjalbum.sh', 'cd
/usr/lib/JAlbum', and './startjalbum.sh'.  I'd like the ebuild to
leave the user with a command that can be put into a simple launcher
though.  Should I have the ebuild chmod, cp, and alter the contents of
the .sh script to provide the full path of JAlbum.jar so cd isn't
necessary?
