Interesting jruby compatible solution.

In the end I think I'm going to end up having to write ruby containers
for c++ objects, so I'll probably end up having to write a "real"
extension after all.  Anybody know of a cross-VM compatible way to
wrap C objects and call their destructors, etc.?
Thanks.
