We should make this the default, but have a way to override it. SunOS
and LD_LIBRARY_PATH show that having the compile- and run-time paths
be necessarily identical is a mistake.
You can already set java.class.path at link time with -D. Maybe we
should set the default in the compiler at link time? Would that be
sufficient?
