A point Michael didn't mention is that gij has a built-in default
database.  You can find it with 'gcj-dbtool -p' (this is what our RPMs
do to find its location...)

This makes it really simple to gcj-compile a program without even
editing its launcher script.  We just use alternatives to make 'java'
point to 'gij', and the usual wrapper scripts all simply work.
