Hello,
Please review this fix, removing the use of -sourcepath when
compiling java sources. For a long time, all java compilation lines
have included a -sourcepath <srcdir> parameter. We have now concluded
that in some cases it's just wrong and the rest of the cases it's
just unnecessary.
I have tried building with and without this patch and enabling
sjavac, and the class file output is equivalent in all cases.

Looks good to me. Good riddance!

It is possible that -sourcepath is a hangover from the recusive-make
days, when we built JDK package-by-package.
