It doesn't really matter to me. I just need everyone to agree on this
so that the wrappers don't simply dissapear. Grzegorz (SableVM) surely
will agree. gij will probably have little problem with this either.
I just need a yes from both Ean (Kaffe) and John (Classpath). I can upload
a new version of jikes tomorrow if everyone agrees.
Since jikes doesn't not have any platform specific parts in it, it is
quite certain that jikes will not prevent JVM from getting into testing
if these wrappers go into JVM.

PS. Furthermore, since these wrappers are NOT and should not be dependent
on version of the JVM (or kaffe), they should be maintained such that
they work with ALL the versions of the JVM. This should be simple enough :)
