I agree, my port of classpath qualifies as fairly exotic and I just
replaced FileChannelImpl with my own version. Similarly with
PlainSocketImpl and PlainDatagramSocketImpl. I consider these cases the
same as the VM* classes.
As long as the interface to these classes doesn't change too often, this
is a very workable solution.

It uses a a pointer sized integer (i.e. 32 bit on Win32 and 64 bit on
Win64).
