It's not working.

The remaining problem is a crash in the Objective C runtime as the 
javaswarm.dll is loaded.
The usual reason for this is that the dynamic linker doesn't call the 
constructors or doesn't call them in the right order.  However, this 
doesn't seem to be the case.   Perhaps it has to do with some namespace 
clash against symbols already in the MacOS X Java runtime.   Someone 
needs to get their hands good and bloody and figure out what's happening.

Another idea is to get Kaffe working (if nothing else an environment 
where there is source code to everything.)
If there is a more general bug, a non-JVM related problem happening, 
that might make it easier to figure out.
