I assume gcjh is implemented in C? jamaicah is implemented in Java, so we have 
a bootstrap problem if we don't checkin the generated headers.

We can solve this by checking in the JNI headers into our own repository only 
and remove it from the Classpath repository, but in case other VMs have 
similar problems, it might be better to check in the headers.


Cheers,
