It is going to be a bit of extra pain for users to compile libgcj if
this is removed from the tree. Would it be possible to use the minizip
implementation from the included zlib to create the jar/zip file? That
way we don't introduce an extra dependency on the user. Or try to detect
a working zip binary on the users system? At least a zip utility is more
likely to be available then a jar utility.

Cheers,
