preliminary patch - just for review

Here is a first start for a patch that makes access to static methods lazy. The
idea is to find out when the target class is missing and put a pointer to a
generic method which throws a NoClassDefFoundError on execution into the atable
slot.

I post this in the hope to receive comments about the approach. Please ignore
debugging stuff in link.cc - this is not the final patch. :)

One thing however remains to be solved: The function throwing the
NoClassDefFoundError cannot provide the information which class definition is
missing. Is there a function from which I can get the class name the method
belongs to?
