Summary: Cant access protected members of a java class

Initial Comment:
Nice compiler version 0.9.10 prerelease, from cvs

Create a folder test, and subfolder java.

Create file test/java/A.java
---start---
package test.java;

public class A {
	public A() {}

	protected String getMessage() { return "Hello World!"; }
}
---end---

Create file test/test.nice
----start---
package test;

class B extends test.java.A {
	void start() {
		System.out.println(this.getMessage());
	}
}

void main( String[] args ) {
	B b = new B( );
	b.start();
}
---end---

Compile:
javac test/java/A.java
nicec test

test.nice: line 6, column 36:
Method java.lang.String test.java.A.getMessage() is not
accessible

i have attached a partial fix for this.
when overloading is being resolved for a call expression, i
test for a protected java method, and create a new method in
the nice class with the same name and signature with a
'super' call in it.  an easier fix would be to override all
the methods by default, but this would create lots of waste.

the problem is that this does not work with type variables.
 The above example works great, but not if the test()
function is implemented as a multimethod with a type
parameter.  i am not sure how to find the class from a
MonotypeVar.
