Re: kawa 1.90 released

[Charles Turner <chturne at gmail dot com>]

Hi Per,

That's a very impressive list of features, congrats!

One small nit, "Support for building with GCJ was removed." but the
"Installing and using the source distribution" page at
http://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/Source-distribution.html still has
instructions on how to build with GCJ. I think that should be removed
or at least there should be a message saying it's deprecated and won't
work with 1.90.

Kind regards,
Charlie.
