Currently /usr/bin/bsh is a shell script. The kernel uses the sh (bash)
as interpreter for bsh script for security reasons. This cant be
circumvented. To make this work we need to write a native application
starting the java runtime. This is a bigger task. Perhaps we can reuse
one of the launchers from openjdk or harmony.
