[Soot-list] ANN: cowjac Java compiler

[David Given]

My secret project is now in a sufficient state to announce --- that is,
it runs a bit and it's late.

cowjac is a Java AOT compiler which works by translating the Java
bytecode into C++ and then compiling that. It converts Java class
hierarchies into C++ ones, so you end up using C++ virtual dispatch for
the Java methods.

It's currently in an extreme prototype state --- no garbage collector,
for instance --- but it works well enough to run simple command-line
tools and run benchmarks. There's a reasonable chunk of Apache Harmony
which can be played with.

Naturally, it uses Soot to do all the real work, and it works very
nicely indeed. Thank you very much!
