Oh, I found out why the installer doesn't work.  Somehow the version of
plain old Unix tail has slightly different command line args now.  Edit
the installer script and change:

tail +309 $0 > $outname

to:

tail --lines=+309 $0 > $outname

and then it runs as expected.  Probably Sun should change this to detect
which version of tail it's using.  Or even better, they should switch to
a more modern system, like why not put the whole thing in an executable
jar file?
