It is an interesting exercise... Tools.jar is required, if you want to 
run <javac/> in process, otherwise you can specify <javac 
fork="true".../> and external compiler will be used (for example, 
jikes). Another possibility is to compile tools.jar into native code 
(not sure whether gcj can do it and maybe it is illegal, because gcj 
would have to decompile bytecode in order to generate native code and I 
doubt you will have rights to redistribute the results).
