Yep. Getting & building Kaffe from CVS is probably too much manual labour 
if you don't intend to hack on Kaffe specifically, while anyone can 
update the installed versions of kaffe and jikes-kaffe using apt, I guess. 
And I can take care of injecting bug fixes from/for gump into Kaffe's 
package on debian, being on the pkg-kaffe team there ;)

Yep. Is setting the environment variable ANT_OPTS enough for gump's ant builds,
or does one need to put it somewhere special, too?
