The problem today is as follows:

postgresql-pljava builds a postgresql extension that executes java
code by executing it with (lib)gcj. Probably due to the above change,
the old -lgcj can be replaced by -ljvm. Unfortunately, libjvm.so is in
a place that needs a rather ugly -L/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-gcj/lib (or
-L/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-gcj-4.4/lib) to work. So question 1 is

* Is -L/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-gcj/lib -ljvm the right way to embed a
  JVM in applications? (or with -4.4 as the other one is only in
  gcj-jre-headless?)

During build, dpkg-shlibdeps still complains about not finding
libjvm.so

* Shouldn't libjvm be mentioned in /var/lib/dpkg/info/libgcj10.shlibs
  so packages using it do depend on libgcj10?

At runtime, pljava.so still needs a LD_LIBRARY_PATH =
'/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-gcj-4.4/lib' or similar in
/etc/postgresql/8.4/main/environment.

* Is there a static path I can use? Would RPATH help?
