If we must choose, I think the distribution should include .class and .h
files. In which case it has to go through and compile all the classes.
It would be especially nice to have two separate distributions: the Class
distribution, and the Native distribution. Seems cleaner that way. Then,
if all they are interested in is getting the thing running on their specific
platform, they can download classpath.jar with just classfiles and download
the native source separately to compile on their machine.
