+JamVM is a new Java Virtual Machine which conforms to the JVM specification
+version 2 (blue book). In comparison to most other VM's (free and commercial)
+it is extremely small, with a stripped executable on PowerPC of only ~135K,
+and Intel 100K. However, unlike other small VMs (e.g. KVM) it is designed to
+support the full specification, and includes support for object finalisation,
+the Java Native Interface (JNI) and the Reflection API.
