I have been out of the loop WRT Eclipse 3.1 packaging for a bit, but I
fully plan on sharing everything we possibly can between JPackage and FC
Eclipse .spec files.  I don't know how well this will work for other
packages, but I've already conditionalized most (if not all) of the
gcj-specific stuff in the Eclipse .spec file.  I never got the chance to
work with David and/or others to get our work into the JPackage .spec, but
I think David managed to extract most of the stuff that he could/wanted to.
