(FWIW it's already been done once, but the project doesn't seem to have
been touched for a decade... http://jemacs.sourceforge.net/ (unless it
has moved to a new home...? I found a 4 year old fork on github, but it hasn't
preserved the old jemacs history, so it is hard to see what it
adds... also the last commit was 4 years ago 
https://github.com/shadgregory/JEmacs ))
