Though that works well for people who want to use ccache all the time, I 
know I don't have my compilers replaced by ccache wrappers, even though 
I like the program.  ccache support, however, has now been added to the 
IcedTea build process.  It is enabled by default if ccache is found, but 
can be disabled by passing --disable-ccache to configure.
