Why not?  We could just turn them all into convenience libraries.  It
won't hurt libgcj users, since they already are forced to link these
libraries anyway.  It is a bit ugly, but on the other hand my machine
is wimpy enough that the relinking step really delays my debug cycle.
(Maybe I should stop using `make install'.)
