Seems really easy to make a port working...

I'm curious: why should that be a problem? AFAIK every lib on 
debian is *not* statically linked...

I had a look at this CPPTasks and I wondering, why you don't do the
normal 'configure and make'? In the moment I'm asking, because I'm
interested in making a debian package from this swt port (I'm
currently maintainer of the debian eclipse package) and using this
special ant task will give me a headache :) Calling configure and
make (or only make, as there shouldn't be many dependencies) from
ant seems equaly easy... (I will probably patch the build.xml and
write such a makefile to make it work...)

Anyway, I will still wait for the next 'release' before I start 
packaging it... CDT is still waiting...
