I don't know about JNI, but I don't think there is any need to establish 
a "main" thread. The "main" thread - ie the thread that runs main() - 
behaves no different from any other non-daemon thread in Java. Once all 
threads exit, the runtime shuts down.
And now that I've thought about it some more, I withdraw my argument 
about keeping _Jv_ThreadWait(). I don't think it really matters much 
either way.
