That will be the name of the OS that the build is running on, whereas if
we're cross-compiling, we want the OS that we're building *for* (the
"host" OS in GNU terminology).

While I doubt that many people will want to cross-compile JNI bindings
for Xapian, if we just use $host_os in configure we should get this
case right for free, so that's what I've done.

The current state of SVN HEAD should work pretty well, except that
if there's jni.h in /usr/include (from the GCJ toolchain, say) that
will always be used, whereas I think JAVA_HOME, etc should take
precedence.  I'll have a look at sorting that out too.

Cheers,
