Note: The JAPI binding is not built by default when you build nhc98,
but it is pretty easy to insert it as an extra step.

    $ cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/cvs login
    Password: cvs
    $ cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/cvs checkout nhc98
    $ cd nhc98
--> $ edit Makefile	$ add "Japi" to definition of PACKAGEBUILD
    $ ./configure
    $ make basic
    $ make install

You then need to add "-package Japi" to your normal program compile
commands, along with "-ljapi" (or whatever) to link in the original
C japi library.
