Great!

I think it would be better to define a default here. Although the .db 
stuff is still experimental, it improves ease-of-use to not have to 
worry about the location of this file. This location will need to be 
version-specific, however, since the libraries may also be version 
specific, and the db format could change in future releases.

The question remains of where this file should actually go, however. 
Suggestions:

<install prefix>/share/gcj/<version>/classmap.db ?
/var/cache/gcj/<version>/classmap.db ?
