that's all i've ever done -- manually added a java.sh file to that 
directory.  if there's a cleaner way, i'm interested.

actually, technically, to have my changes survive across re-installs, 
i generally symlink any new files in there to somewhere in my home 
directory (it's pretty much a single user machine).  so /etc can be 
completely trashed and re-installed, but my home dir is preserved 
across re-installs.
