Oops, fixed. Sorry, I'm constantly in a hurry these days.

- automake's support uses only gcj, ignoring the "javac" and "jikes"
  commands.
- It completely ignores CLASSPATH issues.

Supporting C# with csharpcomp would even be simpler, because on the
Java side there are three possibilities at configure time (no Java
support at all, Java support for creating jars, Java support for creating
jars and executables) compared to only two possibilities for C#.
