This is almost the same as the bug which prevents libgcj from building 
on case-insensitive filesystems (Darwin and Cygwin). The problem here is 
that GCJ thinks they are different files due to the different path 
prefix at the start of the filename. We need to figure out a good way to 
determine if two files are really the same file, even if they are loaded 
via different paths and/or names...
