Ideally we'll just look for >= jre-1.4.1 and if the user has installed the jre
through the rpm it will be detected.  If they've installed it through the .bin
they shouldn't use freenet's rpms either.


The real problem is how to set up the installation in an uniform way.  Putting
everything in one directory as under windoze doesn't work; how about the
following default placement for *nix: 

freenet.conf -> /etc/
start-freenet.sh, stop-freenet.sh -> $bindir
freenet.jar, freenet-ext.jar -> $libdir
seednodes.ref, store, all routing-related files -> $opt/freenet

(we don't have any user-specific settings, so nothing in $HOME/.freenet)

redhat specifically places these dirs differently than other distros, but once
we settle on where things should go it'd be much easier to get packages for anything
