Additional support for Jikes

[Phil Hanna <au...@philhanna.com>]

Jikes requires a reference to the boot class path to work properly in the JDK 1.2 or later environment.  The patch below allows the bootclasspath attribute to be coded on the Javac action (it is currently ignored if build.compiler == jikes)

Why bother?  So that Javac actions can be coded with extdir and bootclasspath and work equally well either with classic or Jikes.  The only change required is the build.compiler property itself.

Here is the patch:
