I agree that we cannot rely on java.library.path. However I wonder if
passing in the Path as an ant property is the start of a slippery slope
where we end up trying to pass the whole environment into ant :-) Currently
we have

ant.home
jikes.class.path

We probably could add what you suggest, but what else (wheeeee down we go
!!)

Conor :-)
