Historically, -classpath and -cp and CLASSPATH did not always have the  
exact same behavior.  They do now.

If you are gonna change this, consider that as of Java 6 the classpath can  
finally accept wildcards to find .jar files.  Thus all the directory  
manipulation that is done explicitly in those shell scripts can be  
replaced with a simple wild card match, which should simplify the scripts  
significantly.
