So gcj has jvgenmain.  You can do the same for other VMs-- generate a
small executable that invokes the main class via JNI.  If the app needs
custom properties and/or classpath, they can be compiled in.

No need for a shell wrapper, and you can run `ps -ef' and see your
java applications by name.  That's what I would choose.
