The fact that there is no HotJava is covered in the HOWTO.  The other
problem (and fix) I thought was, but is apparently not.

in .java_wrapper, there is code akin to the follwing:

PRG=`which $0`
J_HOME=`dirname $PRG`/..

Unfortunately, linux's standalone which command is hideously broken
(which /bin/ls fails), and certain shells will set $0 to the full
pathname.  The fix is either to use:
J_HOME=`dirname $0`/..
Or, safer:
J_HOME=/usr/local/java

A similar change also needs to be made to the appletviewer script.
