Its great to see that the headers are now installed automatically. However, this has
also dramatically increased the time it takes to do a "make install", because a new
shell instance gets invoked for every single header file that needs to be copied. As
I'm in the habit of making small changes to libgcj and recompiling/installing
frequently, this is rather inconvenient. I'm not sure about the technical details of
the installation process, but wouldn't it be possible to copy all the needed headers
using a single command?
