Why is that? I thought that the IKVMC-ed code will continue to call
the native methods that the Java code was built to use?

You don't seem to like this idea very much. Why is that? Wouldn't it
be a lot better for IKVM to not be dependent on the incomplete GNU
classpath when it could use the Sun code that is complete and stable?
