I've checked in a few new changes to the CVS archive, most of which came
out of my testing on SPARC Linux (my primary machine is a SPARC 10 running
Debian 1.2) and debugging some stuff on Solaris.

 * JNI/Makefile.PL is now capable of finding includes and libs for JDK 1.2
   on Unix. I haven't gotten it to work with JDK 1.2 on Windows.

 * JNI.xs now builds with JDK 1.2. It has been tested on SPARC Linux and
   dumps core as soon as it tries to display any awt stuff, but most of
   the test works.

 * The threading issues on Solaris have been resolved (see the README).

 * JNI.pm and JNI.xs now appear to propagate $ENV{CLASSPATH} (and, 
   presumably, other JVM options) properly to the JVM that is
   instantiated.

 * The "Just JNI" installation is a lot easier now.

I'll probably get around to releasing a new snapshot to CPAN sometime in
the next week unless some major bugs appear.
