CLASSPATH.

erm.. and you just acknowleged that, above? so, I'm a little confused? :-}

(and technically, I think that, while there isnt a "standard"
compiled-in thing like RPATH, I believe that java programs can
programatically alter their own CLASSPATH if they choose.
(so, technically, you CAN "compile in" a CLASSPATH, of sorts)

But its been a long time since I dabbled in java, so i could be misremembering.
