That would be great, thanks Andrey. > BTW: are we expecting to have the multiple instances of the port > library?

It is passed along so that any application that creates a Java VM instance can specify the port library that it wants the class library to use. While today Harmony is only using JNI_CreateJavaVM in the launcher, that is not the only expected usage. For the same reason, the class library code should not be using statric variables in the native code. The VMI provides for VM-local storage so that multiple instances of the VM in a single process running through the classlib code do not trample on each other's static area.
