All jars are in the bin subdir (same as Benjamins).

I have added these checks + javaaddpath/javarmpath logic as io's
PKG_ADD/PKG_DEL (see lib/octave/packages/io-1.0.15...).

The PKG_ADD/PKG_DEL implements all the logic to add and remove the path !

I didn't put it as part of the java PKG_ADD/PKG_DEL because in such case,
maintainer of the java pkg will have to maintain the "knowledge" of which
jars are desired for the io pkg ! This probably can be part of the formal
java package !

Please review the PKG_ADD/PKG_DEL I have added to the installed io pkg and
consider to use them or implement similar logic by yourself and make that
part of the formal io package.

In order for the java pkg to be loaded before the io pkg, I have added
additional 'pkg rebuild -auto java' at the end of the 'pkg rebuild...'
sequence in my instructions of the packages binaries installation. This can
be part of a future automated installer.
