At this time, we don't have a standard way to specify java-style VM 
options for things like maximum heap size. I would like GCJ to provide a 
way to compile such options into your application, and also permit them 
to be overridden them at runtime. This will involve unifying the options 
processing code so that compiled application start-up uses the same code 
as the invocation APIs and gij.
