Use of "-Xbootclasspath" argument to Java interferes with use of abcl-contrib JSS

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Check out revision 138 of branches/bona: 
https://lsw2.googlecode.com/svn/branches/bona
2. In bin/abcl, comment out the line @args  = 
($ram,$stack,$bits,@profileargs,"-cp", $libjar, @dock);
and uncomment the line
#@args  = ($ram,$stack,$bits,@profileargs,"-Xbootclasspath/a:$libjar",@dock);
3. Load LSW

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Rather than loading normally, loading fails with the message "Don't know how to 
REQUIRE JSS"


In revision 108, /trunk/bin/abcl was changed from using the "-cp" switch to 
using "-Xbootclasspath":

#@args  = ($ram,$stack,$bits,@profileargs,"-cp", $libjar, @dock);
@args  = ($ram,$stack,$bits,@profileargs,"-Xbootclasspath/a:$libjar",@dock);

However, this does not currently work in combination with the new JSS, which is 
loaded from lib/abcl-contrib.jar (see revision 138 of 
https://lsw2.googlecode.com/svn/branches/bona ). In particular, 
scripts/system-registry.lisp fails to load when it reaches (require :jss):

@jonathanbona: Do you still need bootclasspath for something using http://abcl.org? As far as I know, it can funk with ABCL's load strategy.

[alanruttenberg]

Current version doesn't use that.

[jonathanbona]

@easye nope!
