Nope. It would probably not be a hard thing to do, but I doubt anybody
would like to maintain it. Ideally one would be able to do something
with a C to JVM compiler[1] in which case most of the hard work might
be able to be contained in a wrapper that would then be quite
standalone... though I'm just guessing, I've never tried any of those
tools.

It is some very cute stuff you got going there though.
