It's a pity you don't know what it is. I looked through the old classpath 
mailing list archive but didn't find anything.

On another note, I would like to dynamically link the gtk code into my JVM, but 
I can't do this because of the way the JNI method names are formed. 

My code just substitutes _ for . and hopes for the best, but there seem to be 
more things to take into account. Any idea where I can get code to do that? 
Does gcj have such code, Japhar?

(As an example, 

Java_gnu_java_awt_peer_gtk_GtkComponentPeer_setVisible

is obvious, but

Java_gnu_java_awt_peer_gtk_GtkComponentPeer_set__Ljava_lang_String_2I

is not.
