Another useful feature would be for gcj to do all the linking.
I.e.  doing "gcj foo/bar/baz.java --main=foo.bar.baz" would recompile
all needed files, and then link them into an executable.

This would mean minimal makefiles for java projects, and be more like javac.

I'll poke around in the gcc driver, but I wouldn't bet on me actually
accomplishing anything.
