java compiler - hard..
also It would be completly useless without the classlibraries - you just
woulnt be able to do anything - I reiterate the class libraies are 9MB.
It would be possible to store them in an external device and load up as
needed, but rhat's just anotehr slowdown - bascially you're going to end
up with soemthing unusable - but if your feeling exploratory, feel free
to make a good go of it....
