It would be better to load it through a separate class loader (not the extension class loader, which is used now because the symlink is in the ext lib path) so you don't need to make any copies and it never is seen on the source compiler/bootstrap path. Having the ScriptEngine added to rhino itself as suggested in comment #2 would make that easy.
The trouble with creating a copy and rejiggering all the package names is that you will have a separate copy that you will need to keep in sync with the distro supplied one some way. Double the effort on security and bug fixes.
