This seems to cause a recompile every time in classpath/lib since
classes.2 is renamed to classes.1 here:

So the following test always results in new="true":

And that triggers the creation of a new classes file:

So even on a make install all files are recompiled to byte code with
this.

Does the following fix look sane to you?

        * lib/gen-classlist.sh.in: Use classes.tmp, not classes.2
        as temporary file name.

Cheers,
