[kepler-dev] problems and fixes in cvs head of ptolemy

[Stephen Andrew Neuendorffer]

I'm guessing you've moved ptII/ into the classpath with directories like:
kepler/ptII/ptolemy
kepler/foo/
kepler/bar/

Classpath = kepler

This would better be:
kepler/ptolemy
kepler/foo
kepler/bar

Or even better, epsecially if you want to reuse all of the makefiles and stuff:

ptII/ptolemy
ptII/kepler/foo
ptII/kepler/bar

Classpath = ptII
