	I'm not sure how this would work to tell you the truth.  Most of the  
work for ruby-opengl is in the C-binding area to provide the Ruby API  
for ruby-opengl.   My faint understanding for a jruby port is that  
portion would need to be written to handle how this would work in  
Java.  It would be quite cool to have a jruby-opengl port that was  
similar to the API that is offered by ruby-opengl.

	Perhaps the best way to understand how this would work is see if  
there have been other jruby ports of Ruby libraries that are basically  
C-bindings and see how they have handled it.

Cheers,
Alain
