Right, so to recap: each platform will only need one jvm.dll/so library
(which you would update over time). You don't need to include one
version for Oracle JDK, OpenJDK, GCJ. You'd pick one, and bundle its
jvm.dll (I'd suggest going with Oracle's version since it has the best
stability/performance story). I don't believe there are any licensing
terms/requirements for private JREs beyond limiting which files you
redistribute, so from a licensing point of view I think the Postgresql
team would find it acceptable.
