Stallman might reasonably argue that removing fastjar provides motivation
to do the job.  And we're not really "removing" fastjar; we're making
it an external dependency - the way (say) ar is.  Logically jar doesn't
belong in gcc any more than ar does - at least not as long as fastjar
doesn't make use of gcc headers or libraries.  A rewritten jar that is
just a thin wrapper over java.util.jar *might* be a different matter.
