I've been busy, but I plan to resume working on the generics branch soon
(this week or next week). I've worked with Stuart on the parser for
generic signatures for Japi and I'm going to reuse that to implement the
new 1.5 reflection methods. I'll also work on the VM interface changes
to make it easier for a VM to support both branches.

Thanks.
