Huh.  Why not simplify Kaffe or Japhar discarding threads and
network stuff, bootstrap a minimalist JVM runtime in K&R, then
run the MI bytecode for the compiler.

Not sure what this gives you over the RS6000 simulator really
except its probably more politically OK, and the bootstrap should
be much faster on anythink which already has a decent JIT bytecode
system - ie most things.
