Ben,

This is only an issue for MacOS.  In configure.ac there are the following
lines:

  ## Java and JVM found.  Set up flags.
  case $host_os in
    darwin*)
      ## Sneak the -framework flag into mkoctfile via LFLAGS
      LFLAGS="$LFLAGS -framework JavaVM"

That was copied, I think, from the original Java package and looks to be
sketchy from the comment.  What is the "right" way to handle framework
options in MacOS?  As an example, we are doing something different for the
CARBON libs.
