Changing the public methods to be to non-native and instead calling private native methods simplifies instrumentation.

I assume you know this already but both JVM TI and java.lang.instrument
do have support for hooking into the resolution of native methods. It is
of course more complicated and not for the fainthearted.
The proposed changes look okay. The only thing is that it might not be
complete but perhaps it's not too interesting to instrument methods such
as skip or available.
