Ok. Where would you like to see these docs? Comments in source? Or texinfo?
It's basically a couple of unsigned longs followed by the resource name and
data. The .o also contains a constructor function for calling
_Jv_RegisterResource with a pointer to this whole mess. I plan to add a -z#
option to compress the resource data. The java runtime change to support this
is trivial, and jc1 already links in zlib.
