You'll want to make sure that your app doesn't use any facilities which
aren't supported by gcj. My suggestion it to try building it under
Linux before investing the time to get it going under Windows.
There are some tricks to static linking, but there are a number of
people on list who will be happy to give advice.

I think this should be ok.
