make libcurl

[Thufir]

I want to use cURL as a java JAR, ie:

[thufir at arrakis curl-java-0.2.3]$ 
[thufir at arrakis curl-java-0.2.3]$ head test.java 
/*
** This test application accesses the Web site from Banco Santander,
** a Mexican bank, performs a login over SSL, receives a cookie and 
** obtain the balance of a bank account, all using libcurl from Java.
**
** $Id: test.java 42 2008-10-20 09:27:21Z patrick $
*/

// import CurlGlue;
// import CurlRead;
[thufir at arrakis curl-java-0.2.3]$ 


No, I do *not* want to run cURL from the command line, I want to use it 
from Java.  There's an outdated link:

http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/java/

and a more up-to-date link:

http://www.gknw.net/mirror/curl/curl_java/curl-java-0.2.3.tar.gz


In any event, for the gknw tarball, I'm not sure how to proceed in making 
the tarball, as the README doesn't specify the make procedure and I 
haven't found the right tutorial for my level of c/c++ (nil).


thanks,

Thufir
