[jsr294-modularity-eg] Practical points

[Michal Cierniak]

And my name is Michal Cierniak.  I work at Google and in this JSR, I
contribute my expertise in design of virtual machines.  I was one of
the lead designers of ORP, a clean-room JVM developed at Intel.  I
also worked at Microsoft in the CLR team (the virtual machine for
.NET).
