[LLVMdev] compiling java frontend

[Nicolas Geoffray]

Hi Andreas,

Since you're only looking for a Java frontend, I suggest you only build 
the Java frontend of vmkit and don't pass any pnet or mono information 
to the configure script. I haven't updated the pnet part of the .Net 
frontend. On the other hand, the Java frontend is up-to-date.
