installing compilefontconfig.jar & javazic.jar

there is some code not installed in any jre/jdk package by default:

 - compilefontconfig.jar is needed for regenerating a .bfc file if
   the source file is changed.

 - javazic.jar is needed to generate the zoneinfo files out of the
   tzdata package.

maybe there are other useful tools which are used outside the build environment.
Is there a common place where these should be installed? I'm currently putting
these in the jre/lib directory.

As I understand it, these are not part of the jdk or jre install bits,
just build tools or jdk developer tools.

yes, but these are needed outside the build environment for the scenario, where
the zoneinfo files are built by another package (to only build zoneinfo files
once). surely it is possible to copy the code to the package where it is needed,
but this is a maintainance burden as well.
