AFAIK (based on the Java BSD mailing list traffic), no-one has made any
progress.  I just got the sources to the 1.0 release Friday, but I don't
forsee having any time to do anything in the next couple weeks due to
some unforseen workload which occurred.

However, once I get some time, I can probably do some of the work 'on
the clock', but to be honest no-one that I've spoken to has even started
their port yet.
