pdftk has a hard dependency on GCJ because it's a C++ program that uses
a Java library (iText) through CNI. I once tried to rewrite the C++
part in Java, but the existing command line parser is quite involved, so
I didn't quite get there.
Switch to pdftk version 2 doesn't change the basic architecture of the
program.
(We really want to get rid of GCJ.)
