Could you send me any errors that you get.

It should either find the jars and build in protobuf support, or not
find them and omit the support.

Currently you have to get them from elsewhere, for example from
osmosis, but I will probably have them checked into the mgkmap tree
at some point or have the build file download them.

Well I put them in /opt/jars/... you can put them wherever you like as
long as you modify external.properties to match (or copy to
local.properties and change there).

In the future I expect that the libraries will be downloaded or
checked into (mkgmap)/lib
