I wrote this yesterday as part of an effort to get classpath's AWT classes working on
gcj. I plan to do the missing ColorModel classes soon. Note that there are other
missing AWT classes that would be required to make it 1.1-complete, but these are the
ones that are currently required for compilation due to dependencies on them.

Hmm, libgcj has a good DecimalFormat implementation...

I don't know what this is, there is no reference to it in the JDK 1.1 or 1.2 docs. I
think it must be a private implementation class?

libgcj also has a working java.util.zip (using zlib). I hope that these two projects
can work more closely together in the future - there is a lot to be gained on either
side.
