That is one item I must admit that I do not understand fully.  Our
public API for the bindings have not changed.  A Java application would
not have to change any API calls but they would have to change the
jar files included in their classpath to include the new glib.jar file
that would be produced by the new library.  By utility routines above
I was referring to C (bindings) routines used by multiple sub-projects.
