google has pointed me to the jgaa.com site too but yesterday and even 
today during the day I could not get to it. Now it seems to be working. 
I'll give it a shot. Personaly I would tend to use the prebuilt dlls 
where possible. To ease the distribution we could stick them all to a 
zip-file to be able to download them all at once.

When the dlls stay in the same dir as the exe it should work.
