kawa redhat packages?

[Per Bothner <per at bothner dot com>]

Red Hat Linux is becoming the "Red Hat Linux project" - see rhl.redhat.com.

"One of the goals of The Red Hat Linux project is to encourage a pool of 
high-quality add-on packages; if we're successful, there will be so many 
we won't be able to support all of them."

Would a volunteer be interested in making a Kawa package?  Note this 
needs to be built using Free Software, so it should be built using GCJ. 
   That leads to the question of support for JEmacs etc and other parts 
of Kawa that depend on non-Free Java code. Perhaps they should be in a 
separate kawa-ext package?

We may want to see how the "rhug" project 
(http://sources.redhat.com/rhug/) does things.  Perhaps they should 
spearhead the effort of adding Java packages to Red Hat Linux.  (Rhug 
is/was a project mostly by Anthony Green, who still works for Red Hat.)
