I am starting to have difficulty understanding Classpath's goals and motivations.

When I proposed to add to Classpath some mechanism to allow it to be customized to each VM, I was told that it would be a heresy to encode any VM-specific thing into Classpath, as the vision was: a single Classpath installation would be shared by many VMs on a single system, e.g. common class libraries, common JNI libraries, etc.

Now, what you are proposing is that JNI libraries would be compiled specifically for each VM. What have I missed?
