gcj -D

Following Anthony's change to have libgcj recognize the contents of
the GCJ_PROPERTIES environment variable at runtime, I've changed the
compiler to accept `-D' options. A gcj `-D' option is just like C:
-DVAR[=VALUE]. Each such option is compiled into the main program
(unlike C you can only use `gcj -D' when you are also using --main).
These values are added to the system properties at runtime.
A couple final steps:
* Change `gij' to understand -D options (just like the JDK "java"
program does).
* Change the runtime to interpret some properties specially (e.g., add
a way to set the default heap size).
I don't have immediate plans to implement either of these.
Contributions welcome.
