On the re-use front it would be VERY nice if you could somehow have a single patch for PostgreSQL's C code that called a set of Java interfaces. Then each of your implementations could implement that set of Java interfaces (one using JNI, the other using RMI). This would allow the user to swap between either implementation, but would also reduce the amount of similar C code in Postgres. Something I think the PostgreSQL hackers would much prefer.
