We could do that. In most cases I imagine it doesn't make a
difference -- but with the weak ref stuff in the patch I sent you it
probably does.
Including the Boehm gc.h in boehm-gc.h might be a problem, though. It
might be better to just declare the appropriate GC functions in the
definition of the _Jv_ wrappers.
