Description of problem:
The directory structure of the IBM JRE (IBMJava2-JRE-1.3-9.0 on Red
Hat Linux 7.2) is different compared to Sun's jre (jre-1.3.1_01-fcs). 
The start script /usr/bin/mozilla, which is contained in Mozilla's
RPMs for Linux, tries to locate the "java" script based on where the
plugin is stored; while this works OK for the Sun version, it doesn't 
for IBM's because IBM have the plugin as well as the "java" script
stored in the *same* directory. This is compensated by the following
patch (please note that this patch is relative to Mozilla's current
versions, ie. 0.9.5-0.9.7!):
