In fact, Sablepath 0,1,7 does NOT work yet with SableVM (or I should say 
SableVM does not work yet with this Sablepath version;-).

The reason for the name change is that I wanted a "canonical" naming 
scheme for native libraries (to avoid names like "cpgdkpixbuf"), so I 
thought naming the libraries according to their java package name by 
replacing "." with "-" would make those names intuitive to guess/derive.

Originally I tried replacing "." with "_", but I discovered that using 
"_" in a library name is a bad idea for libtool libraries...

Also, you can notice that I regrouped "javamath" and "javalang" into a 
single library "java-lang".  I see not good reason to create more than 
one native library per package.

I have not looked carefully at ORP, but the changes to ORP should 
normally be quite minimal to get it to work with sablepath.

Let me know of any problem you discover.

Oh!  By the way, if you have any idea how to get the AWT classes to 
compile without having gcc complain about dereferencing incomplete 
types, let me know...  [This code is in Sablepath's CVS tree only.]

Have fun!
