Removing reflection metadata from libgcj

[Simon Barber]

The target application is an 802.11 wireless router. This is an embedded
application where all the java would be ahead of time compiled. There is
a requirement to minimise the memory usage. Following the previous gcj
on ecos thread there was the suggestion of removing metadata from
libgcj.

I'd expect that to depend on what you want to accomplish.  You can't
remove that metadata from Java without breaking things, so I'm guessing
you're willing to tolerate a subset of Java with a payoff of smaller
size, but without some specifics it's difficult to give reliable advice.
