I think we should wait for Sandro's paperwork to clear.
It shouldn't be long now.

For Java we're still putting in changes on the trunk.
I believe 4.1 is frozen at the moment.

This patch is small enough that you could put it in 4.0.x if you
like, and 4.1 when it reopens.  It is up to you.

Yeah, this is ok.  Please add an explanatory comment as mentioned in
one of the followups.

As to reading Apple's jni.h... I don't know.  You could ask FSF legal.
You could also write a little test program that prints the offset of
each of the function pointers, and then compare that to our jni.h.
That would let you know how much padding to insert.
