Thanks for the info!

The context here is that I was trying to be future-proof on a package 
(Octave-3.8.1 for anybody who cares).  When Java support is enabled, one 
of the dylibs links to a Java lib.  By default the build uses Apple's 
Java framework, but I wasn't sure how much longer that was going to be 
available.

Maybe upstream oughtn't be linking it then?
