You could probably get away with only the native code in
kaffe/libraries/clib/native/, which is about 6,000 lines. There are
on the order of 140 native methods defined in that code.
For Kore there are on the order of 70 native methods, you'll need to
implement. Kore's native methods are much cleaner in terms of their
arguments, and are quite focused.
Note: these numbers are for mostly just java.lang (e.g., not java.io)
and are approximations obtained via 'grep' and 'wc'.

You'll probably want to go with Kore then. There's no real reason you
can't have both Kore and Kaffe library support (eventually). Just
keep the native library support code separate from the core VM.
