Mmm, but perhaps the makefile should prepend the local directory to the 
CLASSPATH
so that it takes precedence over any crud in your environment? Actually 
I would
probably argue that configure should discover everything about external 
stuff
and not leave anything to the chance of the environment when someone comes
along later to build it.
