CACAO 0.95 released.

This is mainly a bugfix release.  Here is a short list of the most
important changes:

    Eclipse or other applications.
  * Search for suitable jar program during configure, can be specified
    via JAR environment variable
  * --enable-zlib bugfix
  * i386 bugfix: Set FPU to 64-bit on VM startup (fixes Debian bug
    #350729)
  * PowerPC bugfix: (M_COPY): Handle longs and doubles properly.
  * Fixed instructions copying stackslots (like DUP_X1).
  * Fixed classcache-related problem with java.lang.reflect.Proxy.
  * Throw correct exception when trying to load a directory
    as a classfile (from a .zip file).
  * Fixed incorrect method resolution when calling instance methods 
    through JNI (fixes CACAO bugs #17 and #18).

This release supports GNU Classpath 0.19+ and was tested on some
platforms against GNU Classpath 0.20.
