Eventually, we should be installing in standard locations, coming from
--prefix + default suffix, eg. $prefix/bin for executables.  The
executables (with few exceptions) should have -sablevm suffix.  Then
from JAVA_HOME/bin we'd have (relative) symlinks to these binaries.

I know, but from a quick look it seemed to me that gjdoc executable
script uses a hardcoded location anyway.  This should just be fixed
to use whatever was passed to --with-antlr-jar=FILE, I simply didn't
have time to do that back then (and I don't have ATM).

Another idea is to also include antlr into SableVM SDK.  It's less
than 1MB of compresses source.
