Hi,
As suggested, I've made the following changes.
1. Placed ExTex related jars inside %i/lib/%n
2. Removed RuntimeVars field. As benjamin suggested, startup script can find
jars and JAVA_HOME is set inside that.
3. PDF that can be a manual for the user is placed inside %i/share/man/%n/.
4. The tarball contains the name extex-0.0svn and revision is 8062.
Tested with fink -m --build-as-nobody and built successfully.
