Yep, something like that. With a thin shell wrapper (think gradlew) to
launch `java Configure` or something like that. If the progress with
multi-file java launching continues properly, we might even be able to
skip the compile step.
I have a prototype sketch I've been working on from time to time. This
discussion actually inspired me to go back to it and see if I can
convert into a more proper proof-of-concept.
