Fribidi is in C which will require an extra wrapper layer.  `UAX 9`_
has demo code in C++ and Java, is that of any use (code-wise and
license-wise)?  I must admit I never looked at it, just guessing that
it's worth a look since your library is in Java...

If I don't hack on it, who will?  And if I don't GPL it, what am I?
And if it itches, why not now?  [With apologies to Hilel ;]
