Slightly offtopic: For the log: Executable JAR archives aren't the only
class of executables which depend on an interpreter, e.g. ksh93 scripts
can be bundled&&compiled using "shcomp" and then executed. It won't be a
problem for Solaris since ksh83 (together with "shcomp" and the
"shbinexec" kernel module) lives in the operating system core
("SUNWcsu") but I guess executables which need a seperate interpreter
may be something we'll see more often in the future (e.g. does anyone
know whether Python has such a feature ?).
