Last time I looked at the sources (when I was at IBM, 1+1/2 years ago),
Jikes was not relying on threads, and had a decent code base (it wasn't
printing error messages to stderr, but was mirroring its FILE * in an
internal variable, if I remember it right)...

If that's the case, it _would_ be possible (probably, but not guaranteed) to
compile it as a library with some hacks and wrap it somehow with a nice
class, with all callbacks we need...

Should check the code at this point, though...
