using -libjars functionality from classes other than JobShell

-libjars options is available only if the job has been submitted through
JobShell class. Since the function 'setCommnadLineConfig' is a protected
function, non mapred package classes can't take advantage of this
functionality. By making this function public, other classes that submit
jobs can utilize this functionality. Any idea as to why this has to be
protected function?

Thanks,
Prasad
