[Julian Hall <jules at acris dot co dot uk>]

It's coming on... using SjLj exceptions I have it compiling adequately.  There seems to be some problem in the threading
code that causes multiple threaded apps to crash, and dynamic loading of JNI code seems to be a problem.  I'm working on
it, and hope to have some progress very soon.

     Has anyone made any progress regarding GCJ on Cygwin lately?

     Thanks,
