I've taken that Debian patch and made it Fedora specific.  It's all in 
http://culturalinformatics.org.uk/~ajd9/jogl-1.1.1a-2.fc15.src.rpm.  However,
the this doesn't work well.

On Debian jni libraries are installed to /usr/lib/jni and this is added to
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  On Fedora we install jni related libs to
/usr/lib/gluegen/libgluegen.so (in this case).  So we need to add the
java.library.path modifications earlier than the Debian peeps.  Therefore, I
put it in a static initialiser block.  However, where I've added it is too
late.

So question.  Do I find an early entry point into jogl in which to modify
java.library.path or do we require users to specify -Djava.library.path=... as
a parameter to java?  I'm happy with the latter as identifying an early entry
point into jogl assumes too much about how users are going to consume it.
