speaking out of speculative interest, is shuJIT licensed in a GPL compatible
way? could one link kaffe with it? 

i think shuJIT is quite interesting, since it uses sun's JIT deprecated
interface. I'm not aware of any free JVM implementing that interface. I'm
wondering if a free software implementation of a glue interface to java jitters
would be desirable.
