The only problem I have at the moment has to do with
the $(top_builddir)/vm/current symbolic link. I think that with a few
modifications to several places I can get rid of it. 
That said, the preprocessor should probably be executed somewhere in
lib/Makefile.am and output should be directed towards
$(top_builddir)/$file. Alternately maybe change the compile order to
recurse java, gnu, and javax before compiling in lib, still
redirecting output to the appropriate $builddir. java/lang/String
would go in $(top_builddir)/java/lang/ for instance.
