I made a quick attempt at building icedtea7 on OS X.  The autogen.sh fails
with the following:
onfigure.ac:4: installing `./config.guess'
configure.ac:4: installing `./config.sub'
configure.ac:2: installing `./install-sh'
Makefile.am:1304: variable `PULSEAUDIO_SOURCES' is defined but no program or
Makefile.am:1304: library has `PULSEAUDIO' as canonic name (possible typo)
Makefile.am:1227: variable `JTREG_SOURCES' is defined but no program or
Makefile.am:1227: library has `JTREG' as canonic name (possible typo)

Also, I was not able to find IcedTea7 specific instructions.  Are there any?
