Jeff, Jeff, Jeff... there is really the simplest technical solution:
mv

eg:

   mv postgresql.jar oracle.jar

That generally solves any problems.

Paperclips isn't yet ready for casual users. We are in the middle of
converting it from 2.1 to 2.3 APIs and have to add a whole load of
stuff yet.

However, we hope to be ready "real soon now". Probably the end of
feb. When that happens hopefully I'll have some time to test with
GCJ.
