What would be cool is for gcj.texi to become the comprehensive 
repository of GCJ documentation, with all the various bits and pieces 
from the website rolled into it. Then we can generate the whole 
documentation section of the website from the .texi manual. In general 
the GCJ documentation will be the first place people look for 
information about GCJ, so to me it makes sense to have libgcj-specific 
options in there, although we would also want to list them in 
install.texi with a pointer to the gcj documentation. At the least, 
there should be a libgcj section in install.texi rather than mixing up 
the libgcj options with all the others.

Regards

Bryce.
