An alternative is to write a "javac" shell script that converts the
CLASSPATH and arguments for you, then invokes the "real" javac.

That's what I did, so I would not have to convert dozens of Makefiles. 
I can also use either javac.exe or Microsoft's jvc.exe for compiling
without changing a single line in my project.
