The function prototypes would also require to be updated and there are a 
couple of other areas that would require clean-up too. If it's okay with 
you, I think we should postpone this to jdk8. This code has been using 
size_t for many years and I don't think is actually causing a real 
problem. I agree it should be cleaned up but we are out of time in jdk7. 
Another point is that jdk8 will be our opportunity to remove the 
dependencies on the JVM_* functions and so this code will be changing 
anyway (I realize we're not using these in the Windows code but the 
functions need to match as they are used from shared code).
