I think the typical thoughts around this are to either change the
default backend for base to be sqlite instead of hsqldb (which is where
the java dependency comes in) or come up with a new backend written in 
C++ which can manipulate existing hsqldb format databases. 

If you dig around for "sqlite-sdbc-driver" or something like that you
should find various examples at dba.openoffice.org of various backends
to play with and get a feel for what needs to be implemented in one.
