Ok, that could a solution. However i was more thinking about extending
the configure.in to look for these jars itself... since it is able to find 
libraries and executables... is this also possible?

An other possibility is to ship these two jars ourselves... and just look
for the java runtime executable... i know there are configure scripts to
look for 'java'...

Yes, that would be the idea.

When i was extending the README yesterday is also saw that their is
a C version of Xalan... this we could ship and then we would not need Java
at all.... i haven't tested it yet, but i expect it to be of the same quality 
of the Java version of this XSLT processor...
