Cool.
Note that my jde-compile.el also handles the substitution of
environment variables so you can do this:
classpath $CLASSPATH

Not that hard... but as Paul pointed out in an earlier mail there are
*a lot* of places.
If volunteers were to help me build a list of places this needed to
be done it could actually be done quite quickly.
We'd need to test it afterwards of course, on a varierty of different
platforms.
