I'm a little weirded out by writing binary code out of a jar to a temporary
directory; on the other hand, this does improve distribution, doesn't it?
I imagine all sorts of potential problems, though: 1) multiple copies of
the program overwrite the same file (if a predictable name is used), and
also have a security race, or alternately 2) litering the /tmp/ directory
with bunches of libs.  And also 3) this will hurt startup performance,
which is important in my case.

This means that I would have to take on building this for all of the binary
platforms, which is a chore; and (again) on the other hand, it's a chore
that would allow other apps to never have to have this problem.

(Avi is a console-based editor, the JNI portion is an ncurses wrapper.)
