Well, that took a long time, sorry.  I started to use your revamped  
anonk code, was liking it, and started extending it for my (JSR 292  
related) method handle development.

I also adjusted some of the method splitting decisions; the Visitor  
ended up with a smaller, more regular set of methods.  They surface  
the whole content of the CP, including internal references.

I stubbed out an emulation mode, for when the JVM does not support  
anonk loading directly.  Maybe there's a way to fold it together with  
the stuff in your Google repo.

I pushed a bunch of stuff just now, including the method handle  
work.  There are some Netbeans projects with a few unit tests.  (NB  
6.5 just came out.  Great stuff.)
