Hmmm... your blog doesn't seem to allow comments, so I'll say what I
wanted to say here.

First of all, thanks for documenting the Windows build.  I've had
enough issues building it on a sensible platform. I can't even imagine
the horrors of building it on Windows.
Secondly, have you looked at OpenJDK6?  This is more useful to those
who want a stable API to work against. Finally I couldn't understand
your comments about building
on Ubuntu; support is already much better there, with OpenJDK6 in the
latest release and OpenJDK in the last.
