        Oooh - I missed that :-)

        It looks like it does an identical job - at least my diff -u before and
after having SOLAR_JAVA enabled shows exactly no difference in the
output :-)

        Andreas - it would be great to get a patch to kill the java config
fragment merging tool, and use this python one un-conditionally instead.

        Should be just a matter of hacking:

        filter/source/config/fragments/makefile.mk

        And binning the FCFGMerge.jar compilation / source code etc.

        Any chance you could look at that as an easy-hack-alike ? :-)

        Thanks,

                Michael.
