Summary: Always make debugger available

Initial Comment:
Story:
User starts DrJava on any platform.  If DrJava cannot
automatically find tools.jar with an educated guess, it
prompts the user to specify the location.  The user
enters the location of tools.jar, and DrJava starts up
with both a compiler and the debugger.

Implementation:
The trick is to get tools.jar onto the system classpath
so that the JPDA debugging classes are accessible.  Of
course, we have a framework for starting a new JVM, so
Eric realized we can just restart with tools.jar on the
classpath if it isn't already.  Thus, the debugger
should always be available.
