So what's the problem? javac also automatically builds dependencies,
it's just not as good at it as jikes. For a final build, you want to
start with a clean tree anyway, so javac's inability to correctly
detect if a dependency is out of date is irrelevant.
Also, my experience is that unless you're paying Sun significant
amounts of $$, their reaction to bug reports is to close their eyes,
hum real loud and hope they go away.
