"SableVM SDK for Java" - preview release available for download

Hi,

It looks like we have a good season for preview releases :-)  But I bet
this one you will find interesting.  Simply fetch

	http://sablevm.org/people/gadek/sablevm-sdk-testing-0.9.tar.gz

unpack, execute:

./configure && make
su
make install

And in /usr/local/lib/sablevm you should get quite nice JAVA_HOME-like
environment.  I would also suggest to do:

export PATH="/usr/local/lib/sablevm/bin:$PATH"


Why is it so special?

The above tar archive includes:
* sablevm
* sablevm-classpath
* libffi
* libpopt
* jikes

So:
* you should never have problems with installing libffi or libpopt
  "by hand" again
* No "my jikes is too old" issues (use --with-jikes=internal)
* No way to make a typo while specifying --prefix=...  to sablevm and
  sablevm-classpath.
* Your system libraries and system-wide jikes *are* used automatically
  if available.


This is a preview release and we will only be too happy to hear about
any problems you may have with it, especially at installation time.

The goal of SableVM SDK for Java is that it should dance and sing for
you :-)  If it does not, or it could do better *please* *complain* !!!

Either here, or by filling a bug report at

http://sablevm.org/bugs/new

Have fun!

PS: There's more to come.
