Proposal: remove gnu.gcj.runtime.VMClassLoader.library_control

Hi,

I propose we remove gnu.gcj.runtime.VMClassLoader.library_control and replace 
its code paths with the current LIB_NEVER code paths.

On my Fedora Core 5 machine only two packages use this feature: libgcj itself, 
for lib-gnu-java-awt-peer-gtk.so and gjdoc, for some of its libraries.  On 
trunk, lib-gnu-java-awt-peer-gtk.so we replaced with the JNI-only library, 
libgtkpeer.so, by this patch:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java-patches/2006-q2/msg00263.html

and gjdoc will be merged into GNU Classpath this week, meaning that it will be 
imported into libgcj shortly, where it will like be compiled with 
-findirect-dispatch.

Comments?
Tom
