Experimental java-config support for Gentoo

Hi,

As pointed out by a Gentoo user on this list, SableVM could not be set
as the default VM on Gentoo with the java-config tool.

There is some implementation work that needs to be done for official
support.  But this ebuild provide basic java-config support.  It should be
regarded as a quick hack to get it to work rather than an implementation
suitable for portage integration.

What it does:
1) Tries to provide a JAVA_HOME tree with symlinks.  No guaranty that it
is 100% ok.
2) config file for java-config
3) Provides a jikes wrapper script a la Debian.

So basically:
java-config -S sablevm

will switch your system to use:

java -> sablevm + SableVM-Classpath
javac -> jikes + SableVM-Classpath

other things like jar, javadoc, etc. are not mapped to equivalents.
