Yes. That's what I'm saying. It has always looked to me that all the
other dodgy hackery to set JAVA_HOME is horribly fragile. AND IMO the
right way is to try and run findhome which has some chance of giving the
right result. Well, assuming that "findhome" gives the right results.

So, humour me, and cut and paste the contents of findhome.java out of
configure into something called "findhome.java", run javac findhome and
java findhome and what output does it give. i.e. does it give the same
output as what you had to pass to --with-jdk-home manually
