I think this should be considered very carefully. I would like to avoid
these dependencies if possible. Particularly any dependencies on gcc.
Personally, it looks like in the core classes there will be so little
code that the JNI/CNI thing could be handled with #ifdef CNI/JNI and
a configure time option added to enable it. Or a set of macros might
handled almost everything reasonably well.
