Will this make any sense for Jawin itself too? I have been thinking
about the very simple wrapping of all JNI entry points in the native
code like:

try {

} catch (...) {
   // "..." catches everything
   // raise java-runtime error and return

}

This should (hopefully) lead to Jawin never crashing the JVM. But if
your and Roberts exception handling schema is more "fine granular" it
may suit Jawin better. And perhaps it can also be dangerous to catch and
continue after eg. an access violation?, but since we will make it throw
a runtime error it least leaves the user of Jawin to decide what to do
with these errors (eg. catch and continue or let the JVM abort), today
he doesn't have any chance on a native unhandled exception.
