I noticed two problems:

#include <dirent.h> may not be portable.  It is a Posix.1 header,
not in ANSI C or some old Unix variants.  It probably should be
autoconf'd.

jcf_path_extdir_arg only seems to handle a single directory,
but according to the javac doc it should take a path (list of 
directories).  This isn't critical, and it's easy enough to fix
by adding an extra loop.
