I think we already discussed that during the ITP phase: As both the
native library and the zmq.jar are really small (28k and 48k), I don't
think splitting the package up would be useful.

Additionally, the java policy reads: "There may be situations, such as
with very small packages, where it is better to bundle the Java code and
the native code together into a single package. Such packages should be
architecture-specific and follow the usual libXXX[version]-java naming
convention."

So, please convince me with some real advantages of splitting the
package.

Best regards,
Jan
