I am very glad to hear it.

I will. I should have some spare time in the next month or two.

./configure, ./configure --with-java=no, and ./configure --without-java all 
produce the same result: 
  bindings: 
    F77 : no (--with-f77=) 
    F90/F95 : no (--with-f90=) 
    JAVA: yes (--with-java-home=not specified, JAVA=, \
      JAVAC=/etc/java-config-2/current-system-vm/bin/javac, JAVAH=)
    SWIG: no

I filed a bug report, ticket 99.
