o esd supports for multiple recording clients
- multiple esd_record_stream or esd_record_stream_fallback can
now run simultaneously
o security improvements
- you should upgrade to 0.2.21 - older version have security
holes, which can compromite account of any esd user

* po/POTFILES.in: Removed lines for mini-commander. It seems that
mini-commander is now in gnome-applets, so having these two lines

* configure.in: s/Gnumeric/gnome-core/ fix some cut'n'paste fun
2001-01-26 Marius Andreiana <mandreiana@yahoo.com>
* configure.in: Added ro (Romanian) to ALL_LINGUAS.
Changes include:
General:
- Fixed X selections so that we no longer try to pass UTF-8 encoded text
in STRING atoms.
- Improved the table layout code so that now we render tables very close
to the big name browsers, one or two small issues left
- Added many missing attributes to the HTML export code so that at least
we pass on the attributes we understand.
- Support for sub sup and strike elements.
- We now parse param elements before emitting the object requested signal
so that we can make an informed choice about whether or not the object is
supported.
Editor:
- We now hook to the gnome-spell component to do spelling.
- Rename the idl and oafinfo to bring us in line with the new naming
conventions
- The editor control now exposes an interface for issuing editor commands
Ebrowser:
- New component to support simple browsing tasks.

* configure.in: bump version to 0.51
* gconf/gconfd.c (gconf_main): change the periodic timeout to 15
minutes, to be a bit more aggressive about cleanup.
(open_append_handle): add a timeout to close the

xmlSaveFile creates it
* gconf/gconfd.c (main): following Stevens advice for daemons, we

umask, but a safer one would be good since this is a per-user
daemon not a system daemon.
* backends/dir-utils.c (mode_t_to_mode): make this more portable,
for paranoia
* backends/xml-dir.c (dir_load): We were getting directory
permissions from the %gconf.xml file, instead of from the XML root
directory. Fix.

* configure.in: Added lang Hungarian.
* po/hu.po: Added.
2001-01-21 Havoc Pennington <hp@pobox.com>

Version 7.7.1
Daniel (3 April 2001)
- Puneet Pawaia pointed out two serious problems. Libcurl would attempt to
read bad memory during situations when an (ftp) connection attempt failed.
Also, the lib/Makefile.vc6 was corrected.
- More investigations in the Location: following code made me realize that
it was not clean enough to work transparantly with persistant and non-
persistant connections. I think I've fixed it now.
Daniel (29 March 2001)
- Georg Horn mailed me some corrections for the Curl::easy perl interface.
- Experimental ftps:// support added. It is basically FTP over SSL for the
control connection. It still makes all data transfers going over unencrypted
connections. Rainer Weikusat's ftpd-ssl server hack supports this and I used
that to verify the functionality.
Daniel (27 March 2001)
- Guenole Bescon discovered that if you set a CURLOPT_TIMEOUT and then tried
to get a file from a site and it fails, the SIGALRM would still be sent
after the timeout-time, quite inexpectedly!
- I added an ftp transfer example to docs/examples/ and I also wrote a tiny
example makefile that can be used as a start when building one of the
examples.
Version 7.7.1-beta1
Daniel (26 March 2001)
- Mohamed Lrhazi reported problems with 7.6.1 and persistant HTTP/1.0
connections (when the server replied a Connection: Keep-Alive) and this
problem was not properly dealt with in 7.7 either. A patch was posted to the
curl-and-php mailing list.
Daniel (24 March 2001)
- Colin Watson reported about a problem and brought a patch that corrected it,
which was about the man page and lines starting with a single quote (') in a
way that gnroff doesn't like.
Daniel (23 March 2001)
- Peter Bray reported correctly that the root makefile used make instead of
$(MAKE) for the test target.
- Corrected the Curl::easy perl interface to use curl_easy_setopt() and not
curl_setopt() which was removed in 7.7!
- SM provided updates on three documents (MANUAL, INSTALL and FAQ).
- When following a Location:, libcurl would sometimes write to the URL string
in a way it shouldn't. As the pointer is passed-in to libcurl from an
application, we can't be allowed to write to it. The particular bug report
from 'nk' that brought this up was because he had a read-only URL that then
caused a libcurl crash!
- No longer reads HEAD responses longer than to the last header. Previously,
curl would read the full reply if the connection was a "close" one.
- libcurl did re-use connections way too much. Doing "curl
http://www.{microsoft,ibm}.com" would make it re-use the connection which
made the second request return very odd results.
Daniel (22 March 2001)
- Edin Kadribasic made me aware that curl should not re-send POST requests
when following 302-redirects. I made 302 work like 303 which means curl uses
GET in the following request(s).
- libcurl now reset the "followed-location" counter on each invoke of
curl_easy_perform() as it otherwise would sum up all redirects on the same
connection and thus could reach the maxredirs counter wrongly.
- Jim Drash suggested curl_escape() should not re-encode what already looks
like an encoded sequence and I think that's a fair suggestion.
Version 7.7
Daniel (22 March 2001)
- The configure script now fails with an error message if gethostbyname_r() is
detected but it couldn't figure out how to invoke it (what amount of
arguments it is supposed to get). Reports from Andrés García made me aware
of this need.
- Talking with Jim Drash made me finally put the curl_escape and curl_unescape
functions in the curl.h include file and write man pages for them. The
escape function was modified to use the same interface as the unescape one
had.
- No bug reports at all on the latest betas. Release time coming up.
Version 7.7-beta5
Daniel (19 March 2001)
- Georg Ottinger reported problems with using -C together with -L in the sense
that the -C info got lost when it was redirected. I could not repeat this
problem on the 7.7 branch why I leave this for the moment. Test case 39 was
added to do exactly this, and it seems to do right.
- Christian Robottom Reis reported how his 7.7 beta didn't successfully do
form posts as elegantly as 7.6.1 did. Indeed, this was a flaw in the header
engine, as HTTP 1.1 has introduced a new 100 "transient" return code for PUT
and POST operations that I need to add support for. Section 8.2.3 in RFC2616
has all the details. Seems to work now!
Daniel (16 March 2001)
- After having experienced another machine break-down, we're back.
- Georg Horn's perl interface Curl::easy is now included in the curl release
archive. The perl/ directory is now present. Please help me with docs,
examples and updates you think fit.
- Made a new php/ directory in the release archive and moved the PHP examples
into a subdirectory in there. Not much PHP info yet, but I plan to. Please
help me here as well!
- Made libcurl return error if a transfer is aborted in the middle of a
"chunk". It actually enables libcurl to discover premature transfer aborts
even if the Content-Length: size is unknown.
Daniel (15 March 2001)
- Added --connect-timeout to curl, which sets the new CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT
option in libcurl. It limits the time curl is allowed to spend in the
connection phase. This differs from -m/--max-time that limits the entire
file transfer operation. Requested by Larry Fahnoe and others.
I also updated the curl.1 and curl_easy_setopt.3 man pages and removed the
item from the TODO.
Version 7.7-beta4
Daniel (14 March 2001)
- Made curl grok IPv6 with HTTP proxies and got everything to compile nicely
again when ENABLE_IPV6 is set.
I need to remake things in the test suite. I can't test the FTP parts with
curl built for IPv6 as it uses a different set of FTP commands then!
- I fell onto a bug report on php.net (posted by Lars Torben Wilson) that was
a report meant for our project. Anyway, it said the .netrc parsing didn't
work as supposed, and as I agreed with Lars, I made the netrc parser use
getpwuid() to figure out the home directory of the effective user and try
that netrc. It still uses the environment variable HOME for those that don't
have that function or if the user doesn't return valid pwd info.
- Edin Kadribaic posted a bug report where he got a crash when a fetch with
user+password in the URL followed a Location: to a second URL (absolute,
without name+password). This bug has been around for a long while and
crashes due to a read at address zero. Fixed now. Wrote test case 38, that
tests this.
- Modified the test suite's httpserver slightly to append all client request
data to its log file so that the test script now better can verify a range
of requests and not only the last one, as it did previously.
- Updated the curl man page with --random-file and --egd-file details.
Version 7.7-beta3
Daniel (14 March 2001)
- Björn Stenberg provided similar fixes as Jörn did and some additional patches
for non-SSL compiles.
- I increased the interface number for libcurl as I've removed the low level
functions from the interface. I also took this opportunity to rename the
Curl_strequal function to curl_strequal and Curl_strnequal to
curl_strnequal, as they're public libcurl functions (even if they're still
undocumented).
This will make older programs not capable of using the new libcurl with
just a drop-in replacement.
- Jörn Hartroth updated stuff for win32 compiles:
o config-win32.h was fixed for socklen_t
o lib/ssluse.c had a bad #endif placement
o lib/file.c was made to compile on win32 again
o lib/Makefile.m32 was updated with the new files
o lib/libcurl.def matches the current interface state
Daniel (13 March 2001)
- It only took an hour or so before Jörn Hartroth found a problem in the
chunked transfer-encoding. Given his fine example-site, I could easily spot
the problem and when I re-read the spec (the part I have pasted in the top
of the http_chunks.h file), I realized I had made my state-machine slightly
wrong and didn't expect/handle the trailing CRLF that comes after the data
in each chunk (and those extra two bytes sure feel wasted).
Had to modify test case 34 to match this as well.
Version 7.7-beta2
Daniel (13 March 2001)
- Added the policy stuff to the curl_easy_setopt man page for the two supported
policies.
- Implemented some support for the CURLOPT_CLOSEPOLICY option. The policies
CURLCLOSEPOLICY_LEAST_RECENTLY_USED and CURLCLOSEPOLICY_OLDEST are now
supported, and the "least recently used" is used as default if no policy
is chosen.
Daniel (12 March 2001)
- Added CURLOPT_RANDOM_FILE and CURLOPT_EGDSOCKET to libcurl for seeding the
SSL random engine. The random seeding support was also brought to the curl
client with the new options --random-file <file> and --egd-file <file>. I
need some people to really test this to know they work as supposed. Remember
that libcurl now informs (if verbose is on) if the random seed is considered
weak (HTTPS connections).
- Made the chunked transfer-encoding engine detected bad formatted data length
and return error if so (we can't possibly extract sensible data if this is
the case). Added a test case that detects this. Number 36. Now there are 60
test cases.
- Added 5 new libcurl options to curl/curl.h that can be used to control the
persistant connection support in libcurl. They're also documented (fairly
thoroughly) in the curl_easy_setopt.3 man page. Three of them are now
implemented, although not really tested at this point... Anyway, the new
implemented options are named CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT,
CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE. The ones still left to write code for are:
CURLOPT_CLOSEPOLICY and its related option CURLOPT_CLOSEFUNCTION.
- Made curl (the actual command line tool) use the new libcurl 7.7 persistant
connection support by re-using the same curl handle for every specified file
transfer and after some more test case tweaking we have 100% test case OK.
I made some test cases return HTTP/1.0 now to make sure that works as well.
- Had to add 'Connection: close' to the headers of a bunch of test cases so
that curl behaves "old-style" since the test http server doesn't do multiple
connections... Now I get 100% test case OK.
- The curl.haxx.se site, the main curl mailing list and my personal email are
all dead today due to power blackout in the area where the main servers are
located. Horrible.
- I've made persistance work over a squid HTTP proxy. I find it disturbing
that it uses headers that aren't present in any HTTP standard though
(Proxy-Connection:) and that makes me feel that I'm now on the edge of what
the standard actually defines. I need to get this code excercised on a lot
of different HTTP proxies before I feel safe.
Now I'm facing the problem with my test suite servers (both FTP and HTTP)
not supporting persistant connections and libcurl is doing them now. I have
to fix the test servers to get all the test cases do OK.
Daniel (8 March 2001)
- Guenole Bescon reported that libcurl did output errors to stderr even if
MUTE and NOPROGRESS was set. It turned out to be a bug and happens if
there's an error and no ERRORBUFFER is set. This is now corrected.
Version 7.7-beta1
Daniel (8 March 2001)
- "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" is no longer any trouble for libcurl. I've
added two source files and I've run some test downloads that look fine.
- HTTP HEAD works too, even on 1.1 servers.
Daniel (5 March 2001)
- The current 57 test cases now pass OK. It would suggest that libcurl works
using the old-style with one connection per handle. The test suite doesn't
handle multiple connections yet so there are no test cases for this.
- I patched the telnet.c heavily to not use any global variables anymore. It
should make it a lot nicer library-wise.
- The file:// support was modified slightly to use the internal connect-first-
then-do approach.
Daniel (4 March 2001)
- More bugs erased.
Version 7.7-alpha2
Daniel (4 March 2001)
- Now, there's even a basic check that a re-used connection is still alive
before it is assumed so. A few first tests have proven that libcurl will
then re-connect instead of re-use the dead connection!
Daniel (2 March 2001)
- Now they work intermixed as well. Major coolness!
- More fiddling around, my 'tiny' client I have for testing purposes now has
proved to download both FTP and HTTP with persistant connections. They do
not work intermixed yet though.
Daniel (1 March 2001)
- Wilfredo Sanchez pointed out a minor spelling mistake in a man page and that
curl_slist_append() should take a const char * as second argument. It does
now.
Daniel (22 February 2001)
- The persistant connections start to look good for HTTP. On a subsequent
request, it seems that libcurl now can pick an already existing connection
if a suitable one exists, or it opens a new one.
- Douglas R. Horner mailed me corrections to the curl_formparse() man page
that I applied.
Daniel (20 February 2001)
- Added the docs/examples/win32sockets.c file for our windows friends.
- Linus Nielsen Feltzing provided brand new TELNET functionality and
improvements:
* Negotiation is now passive. Curl does not negotiate until the peer does.
* Possibility to set negotiation options on the command line, currently only
XDISPLOC, TTYPE and NEW_ENVIRON (called NEW_ENV).
* Now sends the USER environment variable if the -u switch is used.
* Use -t to set telnet options (Linus even updated the man page, awesome!)
- Haven't done this big changes to curl for a while. Moved around a lot of
struct fields and stuff to make multiple connections get connection specific
data in separate structs so that they can co-exist in a nice way. See the
mailing lists for discussions around how this is gonna be implemented. Docs
and more will follow.
Studied the HTTP RFC to find out better how persistant connections should
work. Seems cool enough.
Daniel (19 February 2001)
- Bob Schader brought me two files that help set up a MS VC++ libcurl project
easier. He also provided me with an up-to-date libcurl.def file.
- I moved a bunch of prototypes from the public <curl/curl.h> file to the
library private urldata.h. This is because of the upcoming changes. The
low level interface is no longer being planned to become reality.
Daniel (15 February 2001)
- CURLOPT_POST is not required anymore. Just setting the POST string with
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS will switch on the HTTP POST. Most other things in
libcurl already works this way, i.e they require only the parameter to
switch on a feature so I think this works well with the rest. Setting a NULL
string switches off the POST again.
- Excellent suggestions from Rich Gray, Rick Jones, Johan Nilsson and Bjorn
Reese helped me define a way how to incorporate persistant connections into
libcurl in a very smooth way. If done right, no change may have to be made
to older programs and they will just start using persistant connections when
applicable!
Daniel (13 February 2001)
- Changed the word 'timeouted' to 'timed out' in two different error messages.
Suggested by Larry Fahnoe.
Version 7.6.1
Daniel (9 February 2001)
- Frank Reid and Cain Hopwood provided information and research around a HTTPS
PUT/upload problem we seem to have. No solution found yet.
Daniel (8 February 2001)
- An interesting discussion is how to specify an empty password without having
curl ask for it interactively? The current implmentation takes an empty
password as a request for a password prompt. However, I still want to
support a blank user field. Thus, today if you enter "-u :" (without user
and password) curl will prompt for the password. Tricky. How would you
specify you want the prompt otherwise?
- Made the netrc parse result possible to use for other protocols than FTP and
HTTP (such as the upcoming TELNET fixes).
- The previously mentioned "MSVC++ problems" turned out to be a non-issue.
- Added a HTTP file upload code example in the docs/examples/ section on
request.
- Adjusted the FTP response fix slightly.
Version 7.6.1-pre3
Daniel (7 February 2001)
- SM found a flaw in the response reading function for FTP that could make
libcurl not get out of the loop properly when it should, if libcurl got -1
returned when reading the socket.
- I found a similar mistake in http.c when using a proxy and reading the
results from the proxy connection.
Daniel (6 February 2001)
- A friendly person named "SM" (nntp at iname.com) pointed out that the VC
makefile in src/ needed the libpath set for the debug build to work.
- Daniel Gehriger stepped in to assist with the VC++ stuff Robert Weaver
brought up yesterday.
Daniel (5 February 2001)
- Jun-ichiro itojun Hagino brought a big patch that brings IPv6-awareness to
a bunch of different areas within libcurl.
- Robert Weaver told me about the problems the MS VC++ 6.0 compiler has with
the 'static' keyword on a number of libcurl functions. I might need to add a
patch that redefines static when libcurl is compiled with that compiler.
How do I know when VC++ compiles, anyone?
Daniel (4 February 2001)
- curl_getinfo() was extended with two new options:
CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD and CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_UPLOAD. They
return the full assumed content length of the transfer in the given
direction. The CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD will be the Content-Length:
size of a HTTP download. Added descriptions to the man page as well. This
was done after discussions with Bob Schader.
Daniel (3 February 2001)
- Ingo Ralf Blum provided another fix that makes curl build under the more
recent cygwin installations. It seems they've changed the preset defines to
not include WIN32 anymore.
Version 7.6.1-pre2
Daniel (31 January 2001)
- Curl_read() and curl_read() now return a ssize_t for the size, as it had to
be able to return -1. The telnet support crashed due to this and there was a
possibility to weird behaviour all over. Linus Nielsen Feltzing helped me
find this.
- Added a configure.in check for a working getaddrinfo() if IPv6 is requested.
I also made the configure script feature --enable-debug which sets a couple
of compiler options when used. It assumes gcc.
Daniel (30 January 2001)
- I finally took a stab at the long-term FIXME item I've had on myself, and
now libcurl will properly work when doing a HTTP range-request that follows
a Location:. Previously that would make libcurl fail saying that the server
doesn't seem to support range requests.
Daniel (29 January 2001)
- I added a test case for the HTTP PUT resume thing (test case 33).
Version 7.6.1-pre1
Daniel (29 January 2001)
- Yet another Content-Range change. Ok now? Bob Schader checks from his end
and it works for him.
Daniel (27 January 2001)
- So the HTTP PUT resume fix wasn't good. There should appearantly be a
Content-Range header when resuming a PUT.
- I noticed I broke the download-check that verifies that a resumed HTTP
download is actually resumed. It got broke because my new 'httpreq' field
in the main curl struct. I should get slapped. I added a test case for
this now, so I won't be able to ruin this again without noticing.
- Added a test case for content-length verifying when downloading HTTP.
- Made the progress meter title say if the transfer is being transfered. It
makes the output slightly better for resumes.
- When dealing with Location: and HTTP return codes, libcurl will not attempt
to follow the spirit of RFC2616 better. It means that when POSTing to a
URL that is being following to a second place, the standard will judge on
what to do. All HTTP codes except 303 and 305 will cause curl to make a
second POST operation. 303 will make a GET and 305 is not yet supported.
I also wrote two test cases for this POST/GET/Location stuff.
Revision history for Bioperl core modules
0.7 Large number of changes, including refactoring of the
Object system, new parsers, new functionality and
all round better system. Highlights are:
o Refactored root of inheritance: moved to a lightweight Bio::Root::RootI;
Bio::Root::IO for I/O and file/handle capabilities.
o Imported BPlite modules from Ian Korf for BLAST
parsing. This is considered the supported BLAST parser;
Bio::Tools::Blast.pm will eventually phase out due to lack of support.
o Improved Sequence Feature model. Added complete location
modelling (with fuzzy and compound locations). See
Bio::LocationI and the modules under Bio/Location. Added
support in Genbank/EMBL format parsing to completely parse
feature tables for complex locations.
o Moved special support for databanks etc to specialized modules under
Bio/Seq/. One of these supports very large sequences through
a temporary file as a backend.
o Explicit Gene, Transcript and Exon SeqFeature objects, supporting
CDS retrieval and exon shuffling.
o More parsers: Sim4, Genscan, MZEF, ESTScan, BPbl2seq, GFF
o Refactored Bio/DB/GenBank+GenPept. There is now also DB/SwissProt and
DB/GDB (the latter has platform-specific limitations).
o New analysis parser framework for HT sequence annotation (see
Bio::SeqAnalysisParserI and Bio::Factory::SeqAnalysisParserFactory)
o New Alignment IO framework
o New Index modules (Swissprot)
o New modules for running Blast within perl
(Bio::Tools::Run::StandAloneBlast). Added modules for running
Multiple Sequence Alignment tools ClustalW and TCoffee
(Bio::Tools::Run::Alignment).
o New Cookbook-style tutorial (see bptutorial.pl). Improved
documentation across the package.
o Much improved cross platform support. Many known incompatibilities
have been fixed; however, NT and Mac do not work across the entire
setup (see PLATFORMS).
o Many bug fixes, code restructuring, etc. Overall stability and
maintainability benefit a lot.
o A total of 957 automatic tests
0.6.2
There are very few functionality changes but a large
number of software improvements/bug fixes across the package.
o The EMBL/GenBank parsing are improved.
o The Swissprot reading is improved. Swissprot writing
is disabled as it doesn't work at all. This needs to
wait for 0.7 release
o BLAST reports with no hits are correctly parsed.
o Several other bugs of the BLAST parser (regular expressions, ...)
fixed.
o Old syntax calls have been replaced with more modern syntax
o Modules that did not work at all, in particular the Sim4
set have been removed
o Bio::SeqFeature::Generic and Bio::SeqFeature::FeaturePair
have improved compliance with interface specs and documentation
o Mailing list documentation updated throughout the distribution
o Most minor bug fixes have happened.
o The scripts in /examples now work and have the modern syntax
rather than the deprecated syntax
0.6.1 Sun April 2 2000
o Sequences can have Sequence Features attached to them
- The sequence features can be read from or written to
EMBL and GenBank style flat files
o Objects for Annotation, including References (but not
full medline abstracts), Database links and Comments are
provided
o A Species object to represent nodes on a taxonomy tree
is provided
o The ability to parse HMMER and Sim4 output has been added
o The Blast parsing has been improved, with better PSI-BLAST
support and better overall behaviour.
o Flat file indexed databases provide both random access
and sequential access to their component sequences.
o A CodonTable object has been written with all known
CodonTables accessible.
o A number of new lightweight analysis tools have been
added, such as molecular weight determination.
The 0.6 release also has improved software engineering
o The sequence objects have been rewritten, providing more
maintainable and easier to implement objects. These
objects are backwardly compatible with the 0.05.1 objects
o Many objects are defined in terms of interfaces and then
a Perl implementation has been provided. The interfaces
are found in the 'I' files (module names ending in 'I').
This means that it is possible to wrap C/CORBA/SQL access
as true "bioperl" objects, compatible with the rest of
bioperl.
o The SeqIO system has been overhauled to provide better
processing and perl-like automatic interpretation of <>
over arguments.
o Many more tests have been added (a total of 172 automatic
tests are now run before release).
0.05.1 Tue Jun 29 05:30:44 1999
- Central distribution now requires Perl 5.004. This was
done to get around 5.003-based problems in Bio/Index/*
and SimpleAlign.
- Various bug fixes in the Bio::Tools::Blast modules
including better exception handling and PSI-Blast
support. See Bio/Tools/Blast/CHANGES for more.
- Fixed the Parse mechanism in Seq.pm to use readseq.
Follow the instructions in README for how to install
it (basically, you have to edit Parse.pm).
- Improved documentation of Seq.pm, indicating where
objects are returned and where strings are returned.
- Fixed uninitialized warnings in Bio::Root::Object.pm
and Bio::Tools::SeqPattern.pm.
- Bug fixes for PR#s: 30,31,33-35,41,42,44,45,47-50,52.
0.05 Sun Apr 25 01:14:11 1999
- Bio::Tools::Blast modules have less memory problems
and faster parsing. Webblast uses LWP and supports
more functionality. See Bio/Tools/Blast/CHANGES for more.
- The Bio::SeqIO system has been started, moving the
sequence reformatting code out of the sequence object
- The Bio::Index:: system has been started, providing
generic index capabilities and specifically works for
Fasta formatted databases and EMBL .dat formatted
databases
- The Bio::DB:: system started, providing access to
databases, both via flat file + index (see above) and
via http to NCBI
- The scripts/ directory, where industrial strength scripts
are put has been started.
- Many changes - a better distribution all round.
Add PLIST.java (contains additional installed files if a javac is
present during build).
Modify Makefile to take the possible presence of a Java compiler
into account.
