I have the impression that the included libjvm.dll.a didn't work in my 
case (mingw - ActiveTcl), and I created
my own. This is why I wanted to know how the file in the original 
distribution was built (and if the procedure
I followed to re-create it was wrong :-))

If I only stick into creating a JVM from Tcl (and never do the opposite 
- load Tcl from Java)
will I still have problems? ( I am using a tclblend version that uses 
stubs :-) with ActiveTcl/JDK 5)
