HMMM!!!

It's the MacOS test that's messing up gentoo ...!

So what someone (me? you?) might do is just put  the findhome test in
regardless, or put it at the start with a wrapper "if OS != mac".

(
I'd actually rather it tried "whereis" first, but I don't think that's
always there, and my sed-awk-whatsit-fu isn't up to that...
anthony@ashdown ~/gitstuff/lotest $ whereis javac
javac: /usr/bin/javac /opt/icedtea6-bin-1.9.1/bin/javac
anthony@ashdown ~/gitstuff/lotest $
It seems so simple - take the last entry and strip the last two bits off
- bet there's a snag ...
)

Let's wait til tomorrow night to see if anyone on a mac bites, and if
they don't we can try and do this and get it in the build.

Cheers,
