Well, the problem I see is, I don't know the historical reasons how stuff was done and I don't know where these defines are used. A grep can help here, but the knowledge of a long-year Sun employee would definitely help a lot. Of course I can try to make a patch, but definitely I'll need help to verify that what I've done is correct (btw. IcedTea people will also be of great help here). - twisti
