Nice!

I was thinking that, since I do a lot of work on the library and on  
the obj-c part, I am afraid that after some time without reviewing my  
patches, it would be impossible to synchronize.
I have a few issues before I finish my part, but the work that I've  
done is already a lot. Right now, all java-based things work, and some  
native need to tweak them a bit more.

Do you believe should i do a patch even at this time, and upload it to  
the site?
There are a lot of changes and they will accumulate when time goes by.  
I don't want to fork, I want to stay in your track.

I think the best thing I could do is create a super-patch with all  
changes (I think from version 536) and upload it there.
A diif with "diff -ruN" is more or less 390K !!!
What do you think?

( Right now I am writing a tool to automatically create skeleton files  
from java files to objective-c files, so that creating the native part  
from the java library to be as easy as possible)
