Description

The checks for JVMs such as Kaffe or SableVM should be carried out at run-time. Currently the support for these VMs is configured at compile time, and support is conditioned on macros HAVE_KAFFEVM and HAVE_SABLEVM (see location.c and java.c). This is useless for operating systems such as Debian, which support several JVMs.

Instead, jsvc should scan for all supported VMs on the platform at run-time.

This should be a matter of simply removing the #ifdefs for the above macros, but I haven't tested yet.
