That's fine for sendmail, where everything in /etc/mail is owned by
sendmail.  GCJ can't know in advance what will be in /usr/lib/gcj, so
such a makefile would need to be edited or generated by something.
Instead of having a script to build a database, we'd end up with a
script to build a makefile that'd build a database.

Cheers,
