This is a fine patch, but I think this javac function is getting too messy.
There is no real reason to support wildcard expansion and using the
@file thing will keep it from working with another compiler. What
I did was reimplement the [exec $JAVAC ...] bit so that files are
processed in batches of 40. This should fix the compile under Unix
while also avoiding the compiler out of memory problem.

The fix is checked into CVS as of today, please let me know if you
run into any more problems.
