Usually we use the _Jv_ convention for functions, exported types, and
the like.  We haven't used it for a field before, so it just didn't
occur to me.

"hack_signers" was just a random suggestion, based on the theory that
this is a hack that should go away eventually.  (There's another PR
out there from the kaffe folks -- gcj can't build kaffe due to other
Class or Object conflicts.)

I don't care what the field is called, really.
