Don't see how this worked. You can't compile against classes.zip
because of numerous protected members we have in things like
URLConnection.java which are not in classes.zip and you get a compile
error in gnu.java.net.HttpURLConnection.java, or at least I do.
Anyway, I expect that once we have a way of generating dependencies
easily compiling is going to be simple on the java side.
