I think the normal gcj wrapper sets this options. AFAIK, there isn't a
ant wrapper to build to native.

Thats a problem in ant: I think the javac task was refactored to use
Delegates for each different java compiler. It seems that it was first
implemented to use the internal sun classes. The problem is, that this
refactoring hasn't happen with javadoc nor any other task, yet.
It would be nice, if ant would include such a delagating mechnism for
each tool, if there are different implementations.

Just as it is now.

IMO, it isn't fit for main yet: the javadoc task won't work if kaffe
doesn't link a bin/javadoc into java.home. Thats at least how I read
the code. Stefan, have you tried that?
javac tasks will work.

Note that I have constructed the requirements from using ant in the
eclipse packages and by reading the code. I will try to get a
implementation of this all, after there is a consensus to try out this
propsal.
