On some systems there seems to be libgjc.security as well.
Maybe gcj could be configured to use that instead? I'm not an
expert in these files though, so if someone else is already
solving the problem I should probably be quiet :-)

Certainly that can be done, at least for version_num. The release_num
is really up to the packager I suppose.

I've checked it into the scripts/ subdirectory:

    2005-03-22  Archie Cobbs  <address@hidden>

        * configure.ac: Generate scripts/classpath.spec.
        * scripts/classpath.spec.in: New file.

Cheers,
