Yes, this works.  I tried it with gnu.regexp which I've built into
lib-gnu-regexp.so.  The Makefile includes...

props.o: $(srcdir)/upstream/src/gnu/regexp/MessagesBundle.properties
        gcj -fPIC -R gnu/regexp/MessagesBundle.properties -o props.o -c $<

..and the runtime has no problem finding this.

I see.  Right now I've got a global list of core files.  I suppose there
should eventually be a chain per classloader.  I can make this change once you
check your changes in (but I'd prefer not to wait).

The jint change isn't necessary, but I can make the other changes.
