Packaging Jitsi SIP Communicator

[Ben Sturmfels]

Hi Folks,

I'm having some trouble packaging Jitsi (a VoIP client written in Java).
The attached patch adds the package "jitsi", which completes the "build"
phase, but fails as below. Ignoring for now that Jitsi is bundling a whole lot
of dependencies, can someone help me understand what’s going on:

phase `build' succeeded after 45.3 seconds
starting phase `check'
test suite not run
phase `check' succeeded after 0.0 seconds
starting phase `strip-jar-timestamps'
find-files: /gnu/store/kz7kwgm25xk83fc69immm80dazv9gb6x-jitsi-2.10: No such 
file or directory
