Thanks everyone for taking the time to look into this. Answers below
but there is a big caveat.

On the github repo where the binaries are, I also checked in the
source for the changes plus the updated build script. So anyone with
the source and the Microsoft C compiler (v19) should be able to
reproduce the build. In terms of using the actual binaries, that's
fine by me.

Yes, I checked it was still working with openjdk 1.8.

The problem with this 'quick fix' is that it relies on an assumption
about the JVM which is not guaranteed to be correct, specifically the
values that jmethodid, a JNI type, can take. I have asked for some
guidance on this from the JDK mailing list, see:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/discuss/2018-November/004916.html
(sorry about all these multiple sources of information!)

In short - what we have now seems to work but I'd like to request more
time to fix this properly. Once I've done this I would appreciate a
bit of help from Windows and non-Windows users to check it's working
correctly.
Thanks,
Peter
