Access to JVMDI in JDK1.2beta4 is through global entry points. Thus access
to multiple VMs is difficult or impossible. This global approach also
disallows a VM from providing more than one version of the JVMDI.
JNI solves these problems by using access through a function table.
JVMDI should adopt a similiar approach. This would also make it more
stylistically compatible with JNI, on which JVMDI is built.
