Like I said it is really a minor issue. True. Regardless, I prefer a cleaner/simpler file layout that minimizes symlinks.

I forgot about this: there is a both a share/kawa/bin/kawa, and a bin/kawa that is a link to the latter. That seems ugly. The reason is so that the kawa script can just look for ../kawa/lib/kawa.jar, regardless of whether we: (1) run-in-place in the build directory, (2) run installed files (result of 'make install'), or (3) run from an unzipped kawa.zip binary distribution. I think there are better ways to solve this "multi-mode problem" - one is for 'make install' to make a one-line patch to the kawa script as it is installed. -- --Per Bothner per@bothner.com http://per.bothner.com/
