RFC: Require VM to provide JNI 1.2 support?

[Steven Augart]

Classpath currently uses only JNI 1.1, except for one JNI 1.2 function
in the JNI Invocation API: GetEnv().  And GetEnv() is only used in the
--portable-native-sync code, so it's only actually used by Jikes RVM
and Kaffe.  

Mark has suggested that it might be a good idea for the next release
of GNU Classpath to require that the VM provide JNI 1.2.  He's asked
me to post this Request for Comments on the idea.

Feedback?
