Nope still don't get it.

Option 1: You link /opt/kaffe/install/bin/kaffe -> /usr/bin/kaffe
    Here it'll all work since kaffe is a script with /opt/kaffe/install/Kaffe
configued into it.
Option 2: You link /op/kaffe/install/bin/javac -> /usr/bin/javac (or some
other script)
    here it'll work too .. actually it's rather like Option (1).

Give me reason why this is necessary. I suppose if you install it somewhere
then copy the whole damn
lot somewhere else it'll help - but to be honest things breaking at that
point seems perfectly reasonable.
