And, if Freenet now works with windoze jview.exe, then this whole 'with
java' freenet can fly to the bit-bucket - good riddance!
And, if the Freenet with jview.exe problem is sorted, then why the hell
bother with finding other versions of java? Maybe stick another option "Use
windows java interpreter" at the front of the install, so most users won't
be bothered with a java search at all.
That way, the install can be truly fast, simple and foolproof, which is what
I aimed for with the 'with java Freenet' anyway.
