Hi Angelos,
I have some doubts about the symbolic linking of the files I see in
the track diff.

I will try to attend tonights IRC meeting. I have done some packaging
(I still do for the osgeo4w project) of jres, but I have to admit that
I was not able to follow the discussion completely.
In fact I won't be available until one hour after the meeting has been
settled, which will be at 10.30 PM my time.
I can be online by 11.30 PM my time. Please let me know if that makes
even sense.

Cheers,
Andrea
