If the class loader could load .so's, then we could just use gij for
this.

One other idea is to have -D options to gcj (at link time -- which is
a bit weird, but since we already sometimes require -L at compile time
it isn't out of the question) be compiled in to the resulting
executable. This could easily be done by passing them down to
jvgenmain.
