In theory you are right.  However, I prefer to keep the code separated.

GIT master has no more jnlib; it is part of gnupg/common.  Marcus and me
already talked about having GnuPG runtime library.  However, a
standalone library is a lot of work because you have to design a solid
and stable API and maintain it for a long time.  Thus the current idea
is to gradually move certain functionality over to libgpg-error and
eventually rename libgpg-error.  If we start to support 64 bit Windows,
we will likely need something like this.

Hmmm, this still requires to limit changes to the API to a minumum.
There is also the lincese question.
