OK. Perhaps the name of the 'special' jar should be declared as variable
in the virtual's ebuild and recorded in virtual's file? Are there any
uses for this besides a potential java-check-environment check? :)
Perhaps a 'java-pkg_getjars --virtual' would automatically give you this
  jar only? But then it wouldn't be really getjarS, probably even more
confusing than now. So maybe not getjars, but a 'java-pkg_getjar
--virtual javamail' would let you omit the jarname.

And what about virtual provided by the VM, which jar will I get? rt.jar?
