Yep, but parameters specified on the command line to a native gcj binary 
go directly to the Java main() method, not vm_args. So if we want to be 
able to specify VM/runtime arguments as well (eg max heap size, 
classpath, debugging flags, etc), it needs to be done in an environment 
variable. It should be just a matter of having something to read the 
LIBGCJ_ARGS and pass it to _Jv_CreateJavaVM().

regards

Bryce.
