javah is not very well defined, so it isn't that clear exactly what
constants we ought to be emitting.  In particular I think the Sun
javah emits constants inherited from superclasses, but not
superinterfaces.

What do the svn bindings need?  If it is just constants defined in the
current class, I can easily fix that.  If it is constants from
superclasses, that is somewhat harder (our javah replacement doesn't
read superclasses at the moment).

I checked in a fix to gcj.  It will appear in GCC 4.0.

Hi Tom,
I just need the constants in class/interface itself. In the 1.0.x 
branch, this may be internal classes.
