On second thought, I don't even think that's worth doing in Java.
We already have script calling getPgConfigProperty. If the script
block started with some lines like:

var CFLAGS = getPgConfigList("--cflags");
var LDFLAGS = ...
...

it would be right there, clear, easy to read, hard to beat any other way.

If there were more than one native submodule in PL/Java needing to be
compiled, it might be worth factoring that out to avoid duplication.
But there is only the one, so I think the advantage falls on the side
of having the logic visible and accessible.
