the solution was to recompile the library, this time using the
java-6-openjdk include files. Not having time to dig into details
post-mortem at this time, so just taking it as it is:
64-bit works both directions (ooRexx->libBSF4ooRexx.so loading Java
and the external function library, and Java -> loading
libBSF4ooRexx.so which then makes ooRexx available). Dispatching the
ooRexx scripts from OOo therefore works and does not abend OOo
anymore, happy to say.
Still a few things to do, before creating a (stable) beta for the
public, among other things, testing the Windows de/installation scripts
on XP and W7.
And afterwards in a big hurry to create the slides for next week's
presentations at the yearly OOo conference...
