Summary:                    Java: support source file lists for java compilation
Description: 
Javac allows to specify source files by using a list file containing paths to
multiple java source files.
E.g.  javac @my_list_file.txt

This way, one could deal with dynamically generated source files which are not
known at configure time (swig output in my case).

Find an attached patch as an initial suggestion and basis for discussion.

In the suggested solution one can add a '@<path-to-file>' to the
_JAVA_SOURCE_FILES argument handed to the add_jar function. Source files with
leading '@' are detected and treated adequately.
