Build folk,

As a result of these two changesets now in tl/langtools, we can now 
reduce the memory requirements for javadoc in 
(root)common/makefiles/javadoc/Javadoc.gmk.

in inner classes


I have done builds with the memory limited to 512m, down from 1024m.  I 
did try further, with 384m, but that was too much of a reduction.
