Hey, happy to hear that the Java code is ported to C++ :-)
I would have liked it to be test driven in more than a single language pair
(nn-nb) before going 'final' but well, it has been a year now and I'm just
beggining to look at stuff that has been piling up for the last 2 months, so
no chance I'll get progress on any Esperanto or Danish compounding stuff
anyway. Probably finishing lttoolbox-java up and making deployable language
pairs as JAR-files (a la .exe) and an Android port would come first in line
when/if I get the time.
The original reason for having this difference was that we so far have

Seems fair.
Just note that the code require a non-trivial change. It is currently
depending on stuff like compoundOnlyLSymbol and compoundRSymbol.
Also. please try to keep the Java code in sync if possible, and create some
well-documented tests of the new stuff, like the ones in lttoolbox-java.
