I seems that on a fundamental level this question comes down to whether
it is easier to completely reproduce the CA client libraries in JAVA, or
whether it is easier to build and distribute a set of binaries for the
set of architectures that we use. The effort to support the latter might
be distributed over several sites if there is some mechanism by which a
site using a new architecture can build EPICS and then upload the result
into a central web based repository for use by other sites that may have
that same architecture. An EPICS RPM for Linux might also help with this
chore.
