Looking at http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/stories.html#jvm it
looks like the jamvm "select" is correct but the classpath "depends"
should be removed.  (my interpretation of this is...) classpath is
just a library used by various JVMs so if another JVM was added to BR
we'd have to remove that depends anyway at that point and make that
JVM also do a select of classpath?
