launch4j claims to be cross-platform, but there seems to be only a
Windows version. I'll have a look at it to see if it suggests ideas. For
BrailleBlaster, all we need is a simple C program to start the JVM and
tell it where the BrailleBlaster main method is. It shouldn't have any
user interface of its own. Perhaps it could pass BrailleBlaster some
useful information about the platform, however.
