I think so.  Maybe we should just ditch jboolean and use the C++
boolean.  I don't know all the implications of this.  I think we have
to involve the g++ hackers to find the real answer.

BTW, in case it wasn't obvious: please check in the other bits (except
give Warren a chance to look at the java.net parts), once the minor
formatting things are cleaned up.
