This is a good introduction to gcj. Perhaps we should put a link to it
or copy it into the FSF's gcj page.
The only nit I caught is that it's always best to recommend using "gcj"
to link any application using libgcj. Your CNI invocation example uses 
g++. The reason you should use gcj is that it knows to bring in target
specific libraries required by libgcj (like winsock on Windows). I
believe you can just replace "g++" with "gcj" and your example will
still work. Gcj should know enough to invoke the C and C++ compilers
when required (although -D might not work, because gcj overloads that
option).
