I was thinking.  Wouldn't a environmental variable be more flexible?

You'd do something like:

     export GNUCP_HOME=/usr/local/classpath

and it would be picked up automagically.  You could insert it into your
.bashrc, if so desired.

>From the various discussions on IRC it seemed to me that often people have
more than version of GNU Classpath installed, isn't it so?  In such case
an environmental variable would be much easier to change, it seems to me.

And if somebody prefers to have it hardcoded into the shell script and
change it by hand when so desired, I could add it too, as the "default"
value for GNUCP_HOME.

Going thru ./configure && make && make install only to change the desired
GNU CP home location would seem like an overkill to me.  I guess people
would be editing the java-sablevm wrapper anyway, so why not give them
a more flexible mechanism in the first place?

Comments?
