Ok, IBM JDK is working for me now.  In IBM JDK, primitive types
objects aren't available via JNI requests, so some slight of hand was
needed to get that info.  Unfortunately, Visual Age still has deeper
problems (some of them have to do with Cygwin).

The new snapshot at:

  ftp://ftp.santafe.edu/pub/swarm/testing/swarm-1999-09-28.tar.gz

Since the snapshot on the Saturday, these things are fixed:

  1) Swarm runs with IBM JDK for Linux
  2) A dependency glitch that shows up with building with libffi
     (e.g. LinuxPPC, Irix) is fixed.
  3) GUI models that end (e.g. mousetrap)
     don't get stuck if you press stop after they are finished.
  4) The bug Greg Lewis ran into with Java stub processing
     and source tree builds is fixed.
