This patch seems to work for most cases (although not for the xalan
"preloading" that I wanted for eclipse 3). Please note that the
documentation http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcj/Standard-Properties.html
is wrong:

java.ext.dirs
        Directories containing jar files with extra libraries. Will be
        used when resolving classes. Currently not used in libgcj. 

It should state how precisely the classes are resolved and that it is
now used in libgcj when set (and that the default is $(jardir)/ext which
is $(datadir)/java/ext).

Cheers,

Mark
