Eeuuuw!  (I think that's the proper technical term. :-)

Hmm, Autoconf itself doesn't have this issue, right?
as it does not use Java.  So the issue is more about
configure.ac files that invoke the JVM.

The Autoconf-generated 'configure' code checks that the
output of "pwd" works when given as an argument to "cd".
Perhaps configure.ac programs that invoke the JVM should
also check the JVM equivalent of "cd", to make sure it
also works.  I don't offhand see how to automate this under
Autoconf, though, not unless Autoconf picks up a bunch
of Java support.
