How will GNU Classpath get the system properties, what is defined as
the variable 'properties' in java/lang/System.java at the moment?
Does there need to be a way to fill this in from the system type
variables of autoconf, ie those defined after calling
AC_CANONICAL_SYSTEM, such as: build, host, target, etc?
Oh, what about grabbing system property information from Japhar/Kaffe
at runtime? I think what I'm asking is does it need to be hard-coded
when Classpath is compiled or can it be initialized once at runtime or
does the JVM need to be queried via JNI for every getProperties()-ish
call?
Are there cases where native code in Classpath needs to know the
endian-ness of the machine, the size of an int, char *, etc?
