I was thinking we would do this in %install, by compiling every jar
(or war or ...) we found in the install tree.  But maybe it is ugly
not to do in %build -- in which case, yeah, we need to do more
manually.

One thing that is nice about it is we can unpack and compile war files
in the script.  I suppose if we wanted we could also purge non-.class
files from jars here as well, at least until gcj gets an option to do
this.

Yeah, Tom F. offered to put them as scripts in java-gcj-compat.  Let's
do that for the time being.
