Here I think it is important to explain where the blame lies -- the problem
is Java's fault, not ours. So I suggest 

Because the current Java APIs do not provide any way of
implementing these procedures in pure Java, we have implemented
them using a native code library implemented in C and accessed
via JNI. This approach sacrifices some portability.
