JNI wrappers would be nice, indeed.

Unfortunately, varargs can't be wrapped properly,
I suggest you use the ...A versions. You probably want
to map the argument list to your wrapper into a jvalue *.
You should have type-information directly from the
passed arguments and could build the jvalue-Array
before the call (Unless I misunderstand your intentions).
