I agree that this would be great if it is possible. My first goal of 
cleaning up the build stuff requires a lot of reorganizing in the code 
base. I realize that stuff like code style, directory structures, etc 
are mostly personal taste, which is why I had the idea of creating a 
seperate cvs repository. If can work out some plan on how to continue I 
would be more than happy to just continue the on the existing project...
The structure i had in mind was something like this
gl4java
|- src
|  |- c
|  |  |- windows
|  |  |- linux
|  |  |- mac
|  |  |- ...
|  |- java
|- build
    |- tmp
In my opinion the only parts that belong in the cvs repository are those 
bits that are not autogenerated (or at least not the intermediate 
files). Autogenerated files would be dumped in some temporary directory 
under the build dir and cleaned up when they are no longer required.

I don't have any experience with gcj, so I have no idea how easy it 
would be to support it. What other java implementations did you have in 
mind?
Where's extra goal number two btw? ;)
Do you know if Sven has any design documents of the library?
