I think all of this stuff is fine for 3.1.1, at least as long as it 
doesn't touch the generic code too much. Unless I'm mistaken, binary 
compatibility for win32 shouldn't be much of an issue since we don't 
support a libgcj DLL yet.

Yeah, hopefully I'll get a chance to have another look at it in the next 
week or so.
