libs that require native bindings are not that commonly used in java
community because of its portability issues. Actually projects will
usually tend to migrate away from them because there is just no simple
way to ship it in a cross-platform fashion ... except for a few
rareexceptions (like swf).

In this sense getting changes for this into upstream tree sounds
unlikely.

So unless its really API compatible, I doubt that we can make
openoffice use that instead of libdb-je-java - and adding yet another
patch that stays with us forever wouldnt be scalable either.
