Sounds good.  I am somewhat familiar with JNI, but have not used
it recently.  I found a good summary on the web (see
http://www.mindspring.com/~david.dagon/jni/Native.txt), but
I don't know if it is fully up-to-date.

I could only find a copy of the Jdk1.1 version of the JNI
interface (in PDF/PS format) from Sun.  I was going to use this
(since it seems pretty well-written), but I'm not sure if it's
too out of date.  I see the Jdk 1.2 had some enhancements, but
they aren't worked into the spec.

Also, Per Bothner (we talked to him earlier this week) has
a write-up (http://sources.redhat.com/java/papers/native++.html)
that he did.
