Sorry to say, but now Java isn't properly picked up any more on my Linux dev
box (Mageia-2).
All configure does now is echo the entered value for JAVA_HOME; the include
dirs etc are blank.

W/o JAVA_HOME it doesn't work better; after an hg update (pulling your very
changeset), configure ran again but after a while the build broke with
complaints about missing jni.h
