Java and autotools

John,

Would it be helpful to borrow some of the Java-related macros from the
Autoconf Archive rather than rolling our own?  See
http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf-archive/The-Macros.html#The-Macros and
search for the word java.  There are several that I think could be useful. 
Currently, I'm not able to build on kubuntu 10.04 with OpenJDK6.  The build
can't find jni.h which I think could be fixed by using the
ax_jni_include_dir macro.  I don't mind volunteering to try and get these
to work, but I won't push forward if you think it is the wrong way to go.
