Modules with platform specific parts

[Johan Vos]

I'd be happy to see Google joining the discussion, but Android (as in the
Java "clone")  is totally unrelated to OpenJDK so I think it is unlikely to
see relevant input from that side.
However, OpenJDK works great on Android-devices (and can be used to create
Android apps and upload them to stores), so *developers* targeting those
devices are covered.

What I hope to accomplish is to first of all get a discussion about the
potential options for developers dealing with platform-specific (native and
Java) code. It would be great if there was support at the specification
level for this best-practice, but that is probably something for the longer
term, as it will require more resources and lots of analysis, to make sure
backward compatibility is not broken.
