with a site name like sun, u cant ask the sun folks in the US for help ?
well, a long time ago, to begin the port, u take the classes from a done
port, and place them in the directories where the build would put them.
I would also protect the classes from erasure while building, and also
making sure that the timestamp is up to date ( more recent than the
c/c++ sources ). Its a pain at first instance.
