OK.

Geoffrey, while looking at the current java examples to see what I could do,
I noticed a lot of floats. Won't those give us intermachine comparison
trouble unless they are all changed to double?

I looked at x09.java, but it is currently too tough for me to infer
what to do.  That may change as I gain a bit more experience with other,
hopefully easier examples.

Finally, I did find an easy one I could do; x11.java was just a
straightforward modification of x08.java.  Note, I know virtually nothing
about java programming (total programming time in java is now up to one half
hour...;-)), but I inferred what had to be done from x08.java and a context
diff between x08c.c and x11c.c, and the x11.java result I just checked in
seems to work well.  To finish it, you only need to define the pls.mesh API
and change x11.java to replace the temporary use of pls.plot3d with
pls.mesh.

Great!
