Holy crap, comments!

Andrew, I especially like how you compose all of your thoughts into a single
coherent comment. ;-)

I agree we should build the latest LPG (and adding the native bits will be
trivial), but porting DTP/CDT isn't something I'd be confident doing or have
the time to commit to.

However, the jar and Java package names changed between LPG 1 and LPG 2 so it
would be possible to package both jars without conflict until such time as the
LPG 1 jar can be obsoleted. So I propose the following packages:

  lpg: the main package containing the tool to generate grammar parsers (this
is the native C++ bit)

  lpg-java: subpackage containing the java runtime library for java parsers
generated by the tool in the main package (lpgruntime.jar)

  lpg-java-compat: subpackage containing the old java runtime library
(lpgjavaruntime.jar)

  lpg-manual: programmer/user guides for both lpg and lpg-java

lpg and lpg-java could be combined, of course, but DTP's dependency is only on
the Java portion -- just depends on how much you care about that sort of thing.

I can knock up such a package this evening if you approve. I will also fix my
licence injection (a copy of the licence is packaged with the newest version)
and fix my use of cp to install files (thanks Igor).

Igor: The *-manual subpackage is just convention for java packages. API
documentation goes in *-javadoc and other literature goes in *-manual.
