classpath-tools.jar

I've just wasted most of the morning on this.
If someone installs gcj but they still have an old classpath-tools.jar
in /usr/share/java it breaks gcj totally: gjavah etc fail to work.
It's an incredibly hard problem to fix.
I don't know why the old old classpath-tools.jar was still installed.
We need to make very sure that the gcj tools don't pick up random jar
files from /usr/share/java: perhaps by binding in a hard CLASSPATH.
Perhaps we should install old classpath-tools.jar in a special place
so that it gets found first. But we really must do something because
this prevents gcj from building.
