Native Kawa on OpenBSD 3.4/5-current followup

[Robert D. Skeels <athene at earthlink dot net>]

I was still getting show-stopping org.w3c.dom missing errors at make 
with --with-xml at configure time. Determined to fix it I tried 
downloading Sun's behemoth XML package, but it turns out that it 
requires J2SE 1.4*. Finally I found xerces-2_6_2 at the Apache 
Foundation. With those packages in the CLASSPATH, Kawa builds with both 
--with-xml and --enable-servlet.

I am still getting errors when including --with-swing and a series of 
rounding errors flagged during the testsuite run, but will work on 
those later. Encouraged by the above results, I decided to try creating 
a Kawa servlet to run under Tomcat. First I modified 
/etc/tomcat/tomcat.rc to use the native JDK instead of the Linux 
emulation one. Then I compiled the hello.scm kawa servlet example. 
After a long series of attempts of copying Kawa to the various Tomcat 
'lib' directories and the compiled servlet to a working directory I got 
it to work. I will do a write up similar to the OS X one on my site as 
soon as I determine which directories are the right ones. Although 
OpenBSD specific, the above may be of help to NetBSD and FreeBSD usage 
since their native Java ports are only a little less recent. Uname and 
Java version follow.
