Title: JAVAIFLAGS

*Summary*
--------
+ JAVAIFLAGS
*Description*
-------------
At least on Mac OS X Snow Leopard, executing the Java interpreter to
execute OOo code requires a -d32 switch to run the interpreter in 32
bit mode and allow it to load OOo jnilibs. (This becomes apparent
when trying to execute Java-based tests during an OOo build.)
<http://hg.services.openoffice.org/cws/sb118/rev/a1f870e42da0> and
follow-up
<http://hg.services.openoffice.org/cws/sb118/rev/14720b6ed024>
introduce a new environment variable JAVAIFLAGS, set for Mac OS X in
configure (checking whether the Java interpreter actually understands
-d32; Tiger java does not) and added to makefiles that use
JAVAINTERPRETER to start java.
Feel free to also use this for other platforms where necessary, or to
improve the configure code to potentially also support a 64 bit OOo
version on Mac OS X.
