I copied stuff over and soft linked some stuff and got it built.   It 
seems to perform pretty well to.  I have a single java "benchmark" 
(Fhourstones) (I know, it ain't worth much) and I ran it on this new 
installation on 5.2-CURRENT (with WITNESS and dbg stuff there still 
etc) running on 1.8ghz Opteron and it came in at about 90% of an AMD MP 
2800+ under Linux (2.4.24 gentoo) running the Sun 1.4.2_03 jvm...  I 
was impressed since the earlier 1.3.1 green threads jdk I had on 
FreeBSD came in at about 10% on a 4.7/4.9 system running on the same MB 
and AMD MP 2800+ CPU as the Linux one...

My problem is that I defined PREFIX to point to something I call 
/usr/pub so when it tried to build all the darn X stuff it stuck it in 
there instead of the normal place for it.

I have /usr/pub in my master jail as a read write location that acts 
like /usr/local except it gets mounted as read only in all the other 
jails and /usr/local is kept as a separate per-jail writable area.  
/usr/pub/etc gets soft linked to /usr/local/etc...  Works pretty well 
for making software available inside a jail with only having to install 
it once.  There are things that have to be copied into each jail 
/usr/local/etc etc but it gets me part way there.

Thanks
