I'd be interested in seeing ClasspathX adopt automake (what
version though??) if it it solves those problems.  So I'd be interested
in seeing your gnu.crypto autoconf/automake files.  I'd rather not
reinvent all that stuff for gnujaxp, and I really want to get that
compiling again with GCJ.

My current attempts to make GCJ do that are tripping over bugs
that seem to be related to using the "@filelist" syntax there.

Hmm, I'm not sure what you mean "one object per package".  I know
there was a "one shared library per package" proposal in GCJ-land
a while back, also a "jarfile-to-SharedLibrary" mode in GCJ which is
a rather different model.

Could you elaborate?
