I'm curious why he would support Japhar and not libgcj.  I think the
only thing Japhar does that libgcj doesn't do is support JVMDI.  Well,
plus the libgcj interpreter has only been ported to two targets (doing
one of these ports is relatively easy).  Perhaps there is more that
makes Japhar more interesting; I'd like to hear about it.
