Building JavaHL fails with Red Hat "alternatives"

Red Hat Fedora implements a system called "alternatives" for
simultaneous installation of competing solutions for various
technologies, such as email servers and Java suppliers. This is
accomplished through scripts and a network of symbolic links.

When configuring Subversion (ie. running the configure script), the JNI
headers are located based on the supplied JDK root. Code in build/ac-
macros/java.m4 assembles the list of header subdirectories to pass to
the build tools.

This fails on Fedora because the top-level include directory is a
symbolic link, and the find command used doesn't follow the symlink to
find its subdirectories. To fix this, invocations of find in java.m4
should include the -follow switch.

[buildmeister@segw java]$ ls -l /usr/lib/jvm/java/include
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Nov 29 19:19 /usr/lib/jvm/java/include ->
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_10/include

[buildmeister@segw java]$ find /usr/lib/jvm/java/include -follow -type d
