The typical process for building a UNIX program is:
./configure [with some options]
make
make install
If the user asks configure to enable JavaHL (or the Perl or Python
bindings), then I would expect "make" and "make install" to build and
install the bindings. So I'm in favour of setting up "make" and "make
install" to do that for all of the bindings, including JavaHL. Does
that sound like a good idea? (If anyone else also has an opinion on
this, feel free to jump in)

Ok, I'll set this up.

I've added this idea to this issue tracker as issue 2038.

I've added this to the issue tracker as issue 2039.
