JNI support?

Does this mean that the JNI standardizes things like the memory layout
of objects?

How about libawt and other compiled code that's part of the JDK? It
would be really really nice to be able to take these libraries and
drop them into kaffe. They may not be Free, and the JNI may be slow,
but at least they do work.
