I talked to Mike for a bit on IRC this evening about the JavaHL
bindings, and volunteered to look at them. We already rev'd most of the
APIs for 1.5, so adding this hopefully won't be *too* much work. Most
of it is copy-pasting, anyway. I mean really, "how hard could it be?"

Putting on the RM hat for a minute:
I don't think this consistutes a big enough change to restart the 1.5
soak. However, I'm not opposed to prolonging it if we feel that we need
more testing of the bindings as they expose this feature. Feedback
would be appreciated.
