Hi.  I'm about 90% done with java.text.  There are only two uncompleted
classes: NumberFormat (which is partially done, and which I handed off to
Jorge Aliss I believe) and DecimalFormat.  All of the others are completed,
compile, and have had rudimentary testing done on them via Mauve.

Since my output slowed to about zero while working on that hideousness, I
decided to take a break.  The GTK peers are done, so I decided to make the
AWT work.  The first target is Java 1.1, but I am doing Java 1.2 where it
doesn't break things.  The following are done:

java.awt.print - This is a 1.2 package that I wrote just because.

java.awt.datatransfer - This is complete and written mostly to the 1.2 spec.
The only 1.2 class I am missing is SystemFlavorMap.  A few areas still need
work.

java.awt.event - This class is done to the 1.2 spec, missing only some VK_
symbols from 1.2 I am too lazy to look up right now.

All of these will be checked in as soon as the GNU CVS server returns. (It
is still down).

I did these all in the last few days in a massive coding spree.  I hope no
one else was working on them.

I think Paul and company have a handle on java.awt.image, so that takes care
of all of the peripheral AWT packages in 1.1.

I don't really know anything about the AWT, but I'm not going to let that
stop me from plowing in to the main java.awt package.  I'll just do what I
always do: wipe out the interfaces and errors/exceptions first, then move to
straightforward stuff, then fill in the gaps.  If people want to help out,
let me know.
