i'll look into that this weekend too.

i'll also start seeing how we can implement the build ideas mentioned in 
earlier post(s) wrt to GCJ.  i may also start working on writing 
implementations of some algorithms geared for the shared reloadable 
library --what we've coined so far as GCJ-friendly; e.g. 
SerpentBitSlice!  if anybody else plans on doing that, let's use this 
list to eliminate duplication of efforts.
