A side note, sort of: I am compiling right now without --with-classlib, and we are
damn near completely self-sufficient now (in terms of compilation at least). As
far as I can tell, the following classes would make it complete (unless these
classes needed still others that aren't ready yet):
java.awt.Event
java.awt.image.ColorModel
java.awt.image.DirectColorModel
java.text.DecimalFormat
java.text.DigitList
java.applet.*
These are all I had to import from JDK in order to get us to compile standalone!
(Aaron has charge of these areas, so he'll have to tell you what, if any, of these
classes need working on.)
It would be really nice to get rid of that --with-classlib dependency altogether.

Brian Jones ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) is working on that now, there has been some
behind-the-scenes activity lately (the evidence of which is in the CVS changelog
for ClassLoader and VMClassLoader).

Loren has been gone for a long time and we have made more than sufficient efforts
to contact him; I personally think it's about time for someone else to pick up the
work.
