BTW. If someone could come up with something better for (most of) the
Configuration.java.in thing that would be nice. Most of the things in
there could be provided by the execution environment during runtime.
Only the DEBUG flag seems really compile-time critical since it can
remove some dead code. And maybe hard-coding the version number is a
good thing. But the rest seems easily provided by the runtime during the
bootstrap process.

Volunteers for thinking/coming up with a better solution?

Cheers,

Mark
