JvThrow

What is the purpose of JvThrow?  Why isn't _Jv_Throw declared as

  void _Jv_Throw(jthrowable) __attribute__((noreturn))

instead of the current void* parameter?

Why, for that matter, aren't we simply using "throw", since the
c++ compiler automatically calls _Jv_Throw for Java types?

I see that there is mixed use of JvThrow, _Jv_Throw, and throw
throughout the library...
