Questions about jvmti.h header

Hello!

I am currently experimenting with JVMTI support in Cacao. My goal is  
to have the implementation compile equally against both GNU Classpath  
and OpenJDK headers. That's why I stumbled upon some questions about  
the JVMTI header included in the GNU Classpath source.

* Are there any plans to install the jvmti.h file (just like it is  
done with jni.h) or are there circumstances preventing such an  
installation?

* Why does the mentioned header include jvmti_md.h? All machine- 
dependent definitions should have already been covered by jni_md.h.  
Should the missing jvmti_md.h file be provided by the VM?

I also stumbled upon a mailing list post[1] dealing with this topic.  
But it seems to me that only a small part[2] actually made it into the  
GNU Classpath source, the rest remained in the GCJ source.
