I could get make jdbc2 to build the jar file, as it involves simply
changing the rules.

ie, currently we have the following:

jdbc2: ...rule...
	action...

I would have to change it to something like:

jdbc2: realjdbc2 jar

realjdbc2: ...rule...
	action...

Oops, my book says it will generate a postgresql.jar file.  If it isn't
going to that, I will have to change my book.

Seems a JAR file is better than copying the class files.  The README has
to be updated though.  Also, your web page should be more prominent. 
People may prefer downloading the JAR file themselves rather than do the
compile if they have kaffe.
