I can take a look at porting DTP.  CDT is less of a big deal since we're not
using this functionality now.  I think it's their c99 parser that uses LPG.

>   lpg-java-compat: subpackage containing the old java runtime library

> 
>   lpg-manual: programmer/user guides for both lpg and lpg-java

This sounds good to me.  It doesn't look like this is done yet, but soon you'll
be able to have lpg-java be a noarch sub-package and the C++ bits be
arch-specific:
