I can see that. So eclipse patches are OUT. It already irked me that
they contain absolute path names.

It would be nice to have a preference setting in subclipse that would
make the file names in patches relative to the project root. Or, more
flexible, to the patch start directory.

Hence, redirected to subclipse.

However, this does not seem to be as easy as it sounds. I don't see how
to set the base directory for javahl execution. Maybe I can bend the
command line integration to do that, as an experiment. :-)
