Well, we have this same problem every time we change a minor version at
the moment.  We could hack around this in bsd.java.mk, but we currently
don't.  I'll try and work something up, but at the moment I'd prefer to
spend time getting Herve's bsd.java.mk 2.0 committed rather than fixing
the current one.  If you want to make a patch for the current one I'll
certainly review that though and commit.
