I have just had a thought; shouldn't we check during the configure stage
that CLASSPATH includes (in its colon separated list) $prefix/lib/java, and
if not, drop java with a warning message?  That would be much better than
the incomprehensible messages that Joao saw.

Rafael, if you could whip up such a configure test (especially traversing
the colon-separated list), I would be happy to test it.
