no there isnt but i'm happy to work with you on making one.

things to consider are:

* building gnu crypto is effectively building three jars/libraries: one 
is the gnu-crypto per se (incl. the JCE Adapters), the other two are 
javax-crypto and javax-security (callbacks and sasl).

* once installed in a location (default is /usr/local/gnu-crypto) it 
should be straightforward to construct the different options/switches 
needed by the kaffe build script from the contents of that location.

* it would be nice to be able to re-use most, if not all, of the 
generated options/switches of such an m4 library with other VM 
providers; e.g. kissme and jikes rvm.

if you think this is worth it, let's continue this thread on the GNU 
Crypto list.


cheers;
rsn

p.s. if there is a Debian packager out there who is capable/willing to 
help us deliver the library as a debian package, pls. let me know.
