Ric,

Would you consider adding the CLASSPATH fix for cygwin, as well?  You
may have missed my earlier post regarding this (and I'm still not sure
whether my suggestion is a proper fix):

_______________________________________________________________________

Hi, Ric!  I'm far from an autoconf expert, but after doing some
digging, it looks like the Java-related macros you're using are out of
date.  For example, if you look at the autoconf macro repository
definition of AC_CHECK_CLASSPATH at:

  http://www.gnu.org/software/ac-archive/htmldoc/ac_check_classpath.html

you'll see that it doesn't define CLASSPATH, unlike the contents of
aclocal.m4 in the ANTLR distribution.

I did a simple experiment and commented out the AC_CHECK_CLASSPATH in
the configure.in file, re-running autoconf.  Everything still built
properly on Linux, it seemed.  Is that macro even necessary?  I'm
unable to check on cygwin at the moment, but since it's the problem,
removing it certainly seems like it would fix things!

Apologies in advance if that's a naive solution....

Thanks,
Reid
