Without native threads support, this release is IMO useless for running
any kind of serious Java applications on Linux.
While I will admit that I myself have been sometimes frustrated by the
speed of the Blackdown porting team, they have been doing a good job
quality-wise. I still don't understand why Sun would start their own
Linux JDK port and not use the Blackdown team's work as a base.
