Are you sure you want to use the C library, even if it is that small?

Once 64 bit gets a little more common, you'll need to start building/deploying both 32 bit and 64 bit versions of the library as well. And depending on what the C code is like, you may or may not need to update the code to make it build as 64 bit.

If the C library is simple, it may be easier to just port the C library to pure java and not have to deal with building/deploying a JNI library, the C library and the java code.
