A scalable framework is a nice thing... :)

I guess we should do this during configure.  We've got to tweak
configure.in to handle something like

 configure --with-xercesjar=$HOME/lib/java/xerces-1.3.0.jar 
   --with-xalanjar=$HOME/lib/java/xalan-1.2.2.jar

lr_generate_ascii could be generated from a lr_generate_ascii.in, 
expanding macro's like @PATHTOXERCESJAR@ and @PATHTOXALANJAR at .
