[brailleblaster] Re: GCJ Issues, was Re: Configure Issues With LibLouisUTDML

Good to hear that. I was just a bit concerned that may be you had gone and used 
something like GCJ's CNI which is an alternative to JNI, but is less portable 
(IE. I think it is specific to GCJ). While not suggesting using GCJ and CNI, 
for interest reasons here is a link to GCJ's CNI 
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcj/About-CNI.html.
