This will be a fairly large undertaking.  Almost all native
methods currently take an integer (the native handle) as the
first parameter.  All of these would have to be changed.  Before
we undertake such a large change I would like to perform a 
little proof-of-concept.  Let's make a change to a couple of
objects and then test on a 32 and 64 bit platform.  Rivas, could
you structure such a test?

This raises a question.  I currently do not have access to a 
64 bit system so testing now and going forward will be difficult.  
How can we gain access to a 64 bit system for testing java-gnome.
