Some annoying issues solved more or less.

I readded a native ecj compiler adapter. I copied the extJavac
one where no switches need to be set. Ant does the magic.

I use again my native ecj binary from eclipse-ecj

It seems to work.

I have no clue how to use it properly.
At least dev-java/gcj-jdk uses java-gcj-compat.
So you guys can fiddle with it.
I just try to ignore it as much as possible. ;)

Important changes in detail:
---
eclipse-ecj:
	* add gcj useflag,
	  drop java-nativeonly, java-native-bin useflags
	* gcj useflag: build ecj.jar and native binary

gjdoc:
	* add gcj useflag
	* drop java-native-bin useflag
	* gcj useflag: build native binary

gcj-jdk:
	* use java-gcj-compat
	* drop com.sun...Main
	  (ecj wrapper / it is just troublesome)
	* use rmic wrapper
	  (as Java code in tools.jar, ant recognizes it)
	  -> it fails because of grmic's classpath issue?!

ant-core:
	* add nativeEcj Compiler Adapter
	  (a copy of extJavac Compiler Adapter, ant does the magic)
	* gcj useflag: build with native ecj

swt:
	* drop gcjawt hack

eclipse-sdk:
	* forgot to drop the hack, soon...

I forgot to fix some DEPENDs and whatever.
Will be fixed ...

My gcj overlay is here
http://geki.ath.cx/hacks/gcj-overlay-2.tar.bz2

There are some patches for gentoo-java-experimental overlay
to cut down my overlay for gcj.
http://geki.ath.cx/hacks/

There are patches for: azureus, jessie and swt
I would like to see bcprov bumped to 1.31.
However, ...
