Oops!  You're right; my patch is irrelevant since PFF2Loader.java is
used only for the 'Viewer' tools, which Vesa decided not to include.
I had not yet synced with GRUB SVN since Vesa checked in the font
utilities, so I was working with my own feature branch.

Never mind, then.  I can still do a temporary hack to support building
the font converter tool with gcj.  I made this work in my shell script,
and though I think doing it properly would require some autotools
magic, I could add a quick-and-dirty target to a makefile to build
using gcj.  Should I try to do this?

Regards,
Colin
