[liberationtech] Not another Haystack right?

[Michael Rogers]

Hi Fran,

Thanks for the feedback.

The plan is to bundle a JVM for Windows, where Java isn't available by
default, and rely on the default JVM for Mac and Android.

New JVMs are supposed to be backward compatible with old applications,
so our code should run on any JVM that supports Java 1.5 or later.

We've also discussed porting the code to C or C++, but that won't happen
until the design stabilises.

Cheers,
Michael
