There is a free software implementation of the JVM with available
source code, called Kaffe, at
http://www.transvirtual.com/products/downloads.html
If a stackless version of Kaffe could be developed, it might be
possible to convince Kaffe's maintainer (Tom Wilkinson, owner of
the transvirtual.com site) to fold the changes into its official
distribution. It would give him an advantage over Sun, so before
too long, they might follow suit.

Resistance is futile. Capacitance is efficacious.
