i think this should indeed work.

i've looked at the jar manpage a bit and it could be possible to get rid
of the temporary copy to the workdir: jar apparently supports giving
multiple "-C dir" options, each only valid until the next one overrides
it, so the files can be in different directories; but i guess there are
only a handful of such files so the copying shouldn't be much of a problem
(now if only we could get rid of delivering c++ headers, that would be a
win...).
