Something that might help would be to introduce an `_JAR' variable syntax
and extend the current `_JAVA' and related `JAVAC', `JAVACFLAGS',
`JAVAROOT', etc. so that you can do things like this:

glibj_JAVAROOT = $(top_builddir)/lib
glibj_JAR = $(shell find $(glibj_JAVAROOT)/java -regex \.java$$ -print)
glibj_JAVAC = jikes

swing_JAVAROOT = $(top_builddir)/lib
swing_JAR = $(shell find $(swing_JAVAROOT/javax/swing -regex \.java$$ -print)
swing_JAVAC = gcj
swing_JAVACFLAGS = -C

Actually I hate the $(shell) in the above, but maybe this
helps... $(wildcard) might work instead.

That's my $0.02!
