Hi Dustin

I started to take a look at the bundled Java dependencies last week; it
looked like all but 3 of them could be fulfilled through existing Java
libraries in the archive.

Happy to integrate this into the packaging - do you have a branch I can
work against?

I would be up for this; the upstream build process is completely
non-standard but we should be able to work it into something more
maintainable.

Cheers
