[publican-list] had to set heap size in /etc/java/java.conf

[Darrin Mison]

Running publican 0.45 on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 guest, FOP was  
running out of heap space & crashing while building some books with  
lots of image scaling.

I'd tried to increase the heap size by setting the it in both the  
FOP_OPTS and JAVA_OPTS environment variables in my .bashrc to no  
avail.  Also tried adding it to /etc/fop.conf & ~/.foprc

Eventually I got it to work by adding to the command options in /etc/ 
java/java.conf :

# Options to pass to the java interpreter
JAVACMD_OPTS=-Xmx4000m

But this isn't really ideal.

I thought this was a bit strange, setting FOP_OPTS should have been  
the correct thing to do.
