No, it works directly on trees, not RTL.  It also doesn't handle all
trees, just the ones that map well to Java bytecodes.

gcj isn't the only work in this area though.  Other people have done
similar things, maybe with different approaches.  I thought I saw a
real "JVM" back end once, but it was a while ago so perhaps I'm
mistaken.
