Hmmm...
And is it possible to port Suns JVM - as closed source - to an other 
OpenSource VM (like .net/mono , like ikvm do it as free JVM) ?
If Suns Java VM running on an OpenSource VM (like mono), I think it is 
easyer to bring it on new platforms. Because then, it is only needed to port 
the OpenSource VM. And for that VM it is allowed to public the steps between 
the different releases.
