Is that _real_ exe making instead of the current "let's throw a EXE
header onto a CAB in order to fire up msjava.dll" jexegen they have
today? My guess is that they may have a native compiler in the works,
but I also guess it will only compile stuff that uses J/Direct and the
WFC (which map close to the C++ DLLs), and not AWT/Swing.

Also, it will probably be even longer time before theyu have a 1.2
JVM; I cannot see anything on Transvirtual pages that they have an 1.2
implementation of their JVM - or even the GPL'ed Kaffe - yet.
