This is quite confusing because there is no way or knowing for sure.
You can't type a command or do on `/bin/ls -l /usr/lib/libc*'.
First thing I did, was get the original 6.1 box from the upstair cupboard,
but there is nothing there that says any like glibc2.0. I bet this is
massively confusing to new user. Steve better write a little utility
to do this for next JDK1.2 release.
Oh well...
