AOL, but STABLE in my case.

The diablo-jre1.3.1 port downloads a pre-built JRE distribution due to
licensing issues with this lib linked against libintl.so.4.

Temporarily you can fudge it by linking libintl.so.5 to libintl.so.4, but
in the longer term I hope we'll have a new native JRE for 4.9.

That was probably the simpler case of rebuilding from source and linking
to the current version of the lib.
