Hi all,

this patch provides a way how to override where Hotspot searches for
libraries by default. This specifically affects JNI libraries

To achieve this, a new configure flag is added: --with-hotspot-libpath.
When this option is specified, the path is passed to the os_*.cpp
files, where it overrides the existing DEFAULT_LIBPATH string. I tried
to follow the way FreeType and other flags are specified.

The goal of this patch is to eliminate Linux distribution-specific
patches targetted at doing this. In particular, this patch was inspired
by Debian/Ubuntu solution. For example, this is the libpath that is
used on armel:
/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/jni:/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi:/usr/lib/arm-
linux-gnueabi:/usr/lib/jni:/lib:/usr/lib

For now, it is possible to override the path only on Linux, BSD and
AIX. Other platforms don't have the DEFAULT_LIBPATH #define.

I tried building OpenJDK locally with the flag and it worked.

Thanks,

Jakub
