Anthony would have to say more, but essentially it is LD_PRELOADing a
library that uses the jvmpi hooks in libgcj to do some things.
Note that we only implement a very minimal subset of jvmpi.  Nobody
ever tried to really flesh it out.

As an aside -- we do have a jvmpi.h.  This could migrate into
Classpath for sharing amongst VMs.
