I'd like to see ECJ in the ports tree.

One question on the port.  It looks like it only installs ecj.jar.
Wouldn't it also be useful to install a script to run it?  I can certainly
manually type 'java -jar /usr/local/share/java/classes/ecj.jar -classpath
rt.jar Foo.java', but it would be simpler if there was an ecj script that
maybe just let me do 'ecj Foo.java'.  Is there a good reason not to write
such a script?
