We [still] use .jnilib as the suffix and it works on Apple's provided old JRE
and on the new OpenJDK for OSX.

Yes, the new OpenJDK, or Java7, JRE is able to also load OSX's native .dylib suffix.

Indeed.

We have to be very careful w/ GlueGen patches, since it has potential
to break it for all modules and platforms.

For example, if you provide an OSX patch for GlueGen regarding native lib loading etc -
you shall test on at least the old and new JREs.

Ofc .. we also need to discuss it and some sort of documentation/explanation
is essential to grok the code.

This has been criticized as arrogant [at least] already, however,
I hope you all understand the impact such patches may have .. etc etc :)
