Hi!

I just wanted to tell you that I have finally succeeded at building an
easy to compile/install Classpath subset.

This version does not depend on any VM.  I included a generic "jni.h"
file in it.  This file will eventually need to be modified so that
jchar, jshort, jint, jfloat, and jdouble are automatically computed out
of some autoconf magic (for every system).

I have removed all classes that won't compile for some reason.  As
"java.awt.Event" is missing, and classes that indirectly depend on it
are numerous, most of the AWT is missing.  (Why is this class missing,
anyway?  Would it be possible to add a empty shell class for it, at
least?)

I also removed native files that depends on (javah) headers generated
from these classes.

To simplify the install, I included all the "Makefile.in" files, and the
"java_xxx_XXX.c" 

The typical install would be:
make -f Makefile.classes  (generated by mmake)
mv classes /usr/local/sablevm/
./configure
make install

It has NOT been tested other than on Debian potato.  Usual no warranty
clause applies...

OK. Enough talk.  Here's the URL (if you're interested, that is): 
http://www.sablevm.org/ . Once there, click on "download", then select
"sablepath-0.1.0.tar.gz"

P.S.: To avoid confusion with the "official" tree, I renamed it
"sablepath".
