Yes, you're spot on; sorry, it was my mistake in creating the patch
(guess I'm too used to just using the zip method). Please find attached
an updated version that should handle both.
As to a jar version, we considered this recently on the list. One
reason we call it glibj.zip is because it can't be used as a normal jar,
and using a different file extension (which still fits the content,
because jars, AFAIK, are just zips with defined metadata) helps
differentiate it. I can foresee someone posting a GCJ bug when they try
to use -findirect-dispatch on it...
