Note that with newwer GCJ versions you can compile as many .java files 
as you like into one .o file. So you can compile an entire foo.bar 
package with something like "gcj -c foo/bar/*.java -o foo-bar.o". This 
also gets you much faster compile times, at the expense of making 
partial rebuilds based on dependencies harder.
