 Great! Please, go ahead.
 
 BTW, I noticed, that the vendor's default build target ("run") does the 
 following:
 
 	a) builds in various directories;
 	b) copyies into the eclipse/ subdirectory;
 	c) tars up the eclipse/ subdirectory into a file in result/ subdirectory;
 	d) gzips the c)-created tar-ball in the result/
 
 The step b) doubles the diskspace requirement, and the step c) triples it, 
 while the step d) (along with the port's do-install) consume quite a bit of 
 CPU needlessly...
 
 Do you think, it can be arranged for only the step a) to happen upon "make 
 build" and for the step b) to copy everything into the _final destination_ 
 (${PREFIX}/eclipse) upon "make install"?
 
 The would make the builds both faster (no useless compression of the tarball 
 in d) and use around 3 times less diskspace while building...
 
 These are all relatively cosmetic changes, compared to the hard work of the 
 rest of the porting, but it would still be a nice polishing touch...
 
 Thanks a lot! Yours,
