you're mixing things up a bit.
MakeCurlGlue.java is a helper class only needed during build, and this
was hacked by me in order to avoid installing Perl on Win32 platforms
where its not always just there as it is on Linux. This helper class has
nothing to do with the jar, nor with the binding itself, it just creates
 the java file during build process.
The jar is good for dealing with only one file; its nothing more than a
zip-like archive or the classes.
