I replaced everything with jmalloc now.
However, you can still rename jmalloc and make it a macro.
jcalloc actually is.
There's also other changes from Jason.
For instance, a simplification for the sysdepCallMethod which I personally
find really nice. It's make the sparc sysdepCallMethod much easier to read.
Besides simplifying things, it might even speed things up for interpreter
applications that call a lot of native methods with no long or double
arguments.
Archie, what do you want to rename things to?
Remember the dprintf fiasco (see the #define in debug.h)
