[Bug 130] add configure option to support gnu classpath upstream

http://sablevm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=130

<gadek> I have a Q. On how many copies of (installed) GNU Classpath do you
usually work?  How often do you have more than one?

<ThomasZ> same as in every software I work in;  1 per major refactor/newfeature
whatever.
<ThomasZ> So 1 stable and one for a feature/non-trivial-bugfix I'm working on.


<gadek> An env. variable or a configure option that hardcodes the path to GNU CP
in the wrapper?

<ThomasZ> I'd personally use an alias.
<ThomasZ> For one project I have an alias 'alias java-sablevm='java-sablevm
-Xgnuclasspaht:$GNU_CP'  and another (set) to alter that variable
<ThomasZ> But what I wrote above is the result of tweaking my own workflow for years


<man-di> gadek: well just that I like the configure solution most for my own
workflow, it makes it the most easiest for me
<man-di> if you wanna be able to overwrite it with some env var go for it
<man-di> gadek: its up to you, personally I just dont see #130 solved without
the configure option ;-)


<gadek> man-di: I could add a configure option that would put the default
location of GNU CP installation into the java-sablevm wrapper.  Then you could
override it with either the env. variable or commandline opiton
(-Xgnuclasspath:/...).  That would be the most flexible solution, I believe.
<man-di> gadek: sounds fair and good
