LiJy-launch

Hi all,

as kind of side-quest I have been working to write a JNI-based Jython-launcher
with the mid-term goal to replace the current one that needs to bundle CPython.
(I couldn't resist to make up some fancy development-name for the project.)
It turned out to be much harder than I thought, but finally, here is kind of a
prototype (for now linux only).
I would appreciate some testing from the linux-users among you, before I start
porting it to windows.

Take a look at
https://github.com/Stewori/LiJy-launch (I wanna see some stars!)
Yes, the source code needs lots of clean-up; first do things right ;)

I'd like to see this become the default-launcher in Jython 2.7.1, but unfortunately
there might be license issues. It was infeasible to write this launcher without
including source-code from Open JDK, which is released under GPLv2 with
classpath exception. However this would not be infective for Jython as there is
the classpath exception and Jython would not link to the launcher anyway (it's only
the other way round).
Only thing is that if Jython would distribute this launcher, it would have to
clarify that the launcher is GPLv2 with classpath exception as opposed to the rest
of Jython and include the according license text-file.
I suppose this should be okay, what do you think?

Regards

Stefan
