I have a plan for how to integrate ORP, but no time to do it.  The
basic idea is to make a generic interpreter/JIT interface, abstract
out some of the interpreter-specific things in libgcj (eg add the
ability to associate data with a method in a way that isn't tied
specifically to the interpreter).  Then from that we can interface
more or less directly to ORP.  The idea is that sometimes you want a
JIT (and you probably want to choose your JIT from several possible
ones) and sometimes you really do want just an interpreter.  We could
make this selectable at run- or compile-time.
