What's the story with jai?  When I install jai, I get some messages 
about usage, involving very convoluted arguments to java.

Ok.  So I link from .../jre/lib/ext and .../jre/lib/i386 to the jars in 
/usr/share/jai-bin and /opt/jai-bin, and forget about the args and 
wrappers.  Will this break anything?
