Right now its only two files I've almost got the build changed to
build as a sub directory of gcjx on the gcc-gcjx branch. I'm turning
in the gcc paperwork now.
I'll try and post the code to the list tomorrow morning or night.
I'd prefer the gcc tree since one of my main goals is to use llvms
abilities to optimize out the jni layer. If need be we can put the
code on sourceforge as a interm solution.
