Patch for java package support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It's rather inconvenient to have all the files in a single folder, and, 
regarding java it is considered a bad practice.

I made a patch to solve this issue and tested it on my machine, works fine. My 
first piece of code in Python, though, so you may find it not exactly state-of 
the art ;)

P.S. helps some languages other than java, too!

This version had a security issue: nukeglob() did not go into subfolders. Fixed 
now

An even easier solution would be to change the "command" field in the languages 
database table from "java -jar MyBot.jar" to "java -cp . MyBot". This means no 
code changes and is trivial to roll back.

camskinner, that is not a solution, since:
1. The .java files lying in subdirectories won't get compiled
2. the .jar or .class lying in subdirectories won't get deleted

The builder could perform the equivalent of:

$ find . -name *.jar | xargs rm
$ find . -name *.class | xargs rm
$ find . -name *.java | xargs javac
$ find . -name *.class | xargs jar -cvf MyBot.jar MyBot
