Yes! Very much interested.
If it can be expressed in standard JNI and a C/GNU/Posix like
implementation is possible then we would love to provide it with GNU
Classpath. Since almost every VM seems to provide this itself already it
never seemed like a high priority, but it is very much wanted to make
GNU Classpath itself more complete.
