Unless FC commits to using the default -- and in which case, let's
leave out the configure option -- users will have to deal with this.
That is trivial, though, since you can easily write a java program to
print this property.
Bryce> <install prefix>/share/gcj/<version>/classmap.db ?
Probably lib instead; although the .db is not itself
platform-dependent, I wouldn't be surprised if people put
platform-dependent paths into the file.
Bryce> /var/cache/gcj/<version>/classmap.db ?
While technically we wouldn't be installing anything outside $prefix,
having libgcj look there by default is kind of weird.
