Of course, but it's a start!

Might be able to.

Yeah, and yes, I read your other ride-on-FFI-post. Also, the JNIPort
someone mentioned looked quite interesting too, and with a reasonable
license it seems.
But of course, a plugin ...not sure I get what that *is* in this lineup
- a C plugin? Or is it a piece of java code in the java "harness" you
have that we call using.... some kind of protocol?
Anyway, we would love to take a look at your "messy code" and promise
that we will not harass you with questions about it :)
regards, Göran
