Michael, Jusa,
thanks for the hints. I'll try it for the JNI-to-CNI transition. With CNI it
may be possble to get rid of some blobs and simply use shared libs e.g. to
use the libgmp3c2.so from the standard "apt-get install".
The GNU compiler seems to optimize some code away - to some extent. Other
things may need direct patches - e.g. there's a dependcy on ant.jar during
link which I belive is superflous.
