For JDK 1.2/1.1.x could you please add overloads of
the native System.arrayCopy which take a stride
parameter for both input and output arrays? This
would greatly accelerate various image and other
ops. If both input and output stride are 1 it
would function the same as the existing method.
If either are > 1 it allows native execution of
scatter/gather copy, a fundamental op that needs
acceleration.

System.arrayCopy(Object[] src, int srcOffset,
int srcStride, Object[] dest,
        int destOffset, int destStride)

is an example of the interface.

If you could also get this into 1.1.5 etc it
would be great but in any case let it appear in 1.2.

Thanks!!
