Classpath-minimal-native provides the class libraries for cacao-native, not a
JVM.  Cacao-native also requires some form of Java on the build machine, so
Java *is* a requirement for this package.  Yes, it takes Java to build Java.  I
spent a few days trying to bootstrap java on the build system, but java-native
isn't really an option since Jikes and gcj don't work with the newer JVMs.

If someone else wants to make java-native, be my guest.  Until then, yes, you
need to install a java runtime on your build machine to run ecj to build
cacao-native to build classpath-native to build cacao and classpath.
