This is a feature, not a bug, according to Sun :-).  That is, if you ask
Sun for that stuff, they tell you "you can't have it".  (At least, I
recognize most of the directories mentioned as being under that heading.)
This has been university-source policy for a long time, it's not new.  As
far as I know, nobody has ever been able to explain what's so secret about
most of it.  (I can understand being reluctant to release lang/c2, but the
rest of it seems quite irrational.)
