I think it's SMP-proof anyhow, but it's so easy to fix in the compiler
that I'm going to try that.  That will help all GCJ users without
having to do anything special in their Makefile.

I've changed write_classfile to create "foo.class.tmp" and then call
"rename" to change it to "foo.class" after the file has been written.
Note that "rename" is guaranteed to be atomic.

So, if I do this (trivial patchlet to jcf-write.c) plus Makefile.am
changed posted yesterday, will that work for y'all?
