This is correct, as I said earlier: "Only if the program uses such
libraries."  Not every piece of code being compiled uses external
libraries.  Most do, though.

Not necessary.  I read it once.  I suggest that you follow your own
advice.

If you have some specific claim to make some way in which what that FAQ
entry says contradicts my expalantion of what a JVM is, make it.  It
doesn't.  A JVM, as the term is generally used in the Java community, 
is what actually executes Java byte code (either via direct
interpretation, or via JIT compilation, or some combination).
