It just seems to me that a library like ours is going to use sockets
and files and maybe threads (though that is probably abstracted away
to the VM layer) and a good deal of the porting we have to do would be
confined to a single library meant for this if we could or did use APR
or NSPR.  APR seems most likely given the terms of the Apache license,
but I have no idea what Tom's thoughts are on this.  Maybe it doesn't
matter, the CNI and JNI code are completely different anyway.
