Comment(by dmiles):

 Oh heck, just one more note:

 Since some of us on win32/win64 I better show what DLLs are needed in the
 ABCL dir:

 IKVM.Runtime.dll and IKVM.OpenJDK.ClassLibrary.dll


 Otherwise a MS Windows user gets an error:

 T:\development\mirrors\ABCL-SVN\trunk\abcl>abcl.exe

 Unhandled Exception: System.TypeInitializationException: The type
 initializer for "java.lang.ExceptionHelper" threw an exception. --->
 System.IO.FileNotFoundException: File or assembly name IKVM.Runtime, or
 one of its dependencies, was not found.
 File name: "IKVM.Runtime"
    at java.lang.ExceptionHelper.SafeGetEnvironmentVariable(String )
    at java.lang.ExceptionHelper..cctor()



 SO they must
 T:\development\mirrors\ABCL-SVN\trunk\abcl>copy
 bin\IKVM.OpenJDK.ClassLibrary.dll .
         1 file(s) copied.
 T:\development\mirrors\ABCL-SVN\trunk\abcl>copy bin\IKVM.Runtime.dll .
         1 file(s) copied.

 T:\development\mirrors\ABCL-SVN\trunk\abcl>abcl.exe

 Low-level initialization completed in 0.721 seconds.
 Startup completed in 19.534 seconds.
 Type ":help" for a list of available commands.
 CL-USER(1):

 And now they have a happy "native?" abcl.exe in Windows with no need for
 Java installed!
