Is there any way we can persuade cgf to build the gcc distribution 
without "jar.exe" (i.e. exclude gcj, which is still a pretty immature 
component of the family)?

Not that this is terribly bothersome (I just put the Sun Java SDK in 
front of cygwin in my $PATH), but I wonder how many people actually use 
gcj for their real(TM) work (vs the Sun JDK).. (I suspect the number's 
still vanishingly small, and those who do are quite capable of building 
their own distribution anyway).
