I personally haven't come across any.  I am actually in the slow process 
of trying to create an ebuild for JOGL.  As this uses JNI I started to 
wonder about the effect changes to JNI would have on the package and how 
something like this could be managed within the portage system.  I would 
imagine that this could be a difficult problem for a disto like gentoo.
