hmmm....doesn't the GNU ClassPath implement enough of Java's runtimes
to handle a command-line app like this (the app needs, basically, to
be able to read files, communicate via the http protocol, print to
stdout, and accept input from stdin)?  And doesn't Kaffe use the GNU
ClassPath?  And if this is the case, couldn't GCJ be used in the place
of Kaffe to build this app on platforms that aren't supported by Kaffe
(or on all platforms, if that is desired)?

Just some thoughts...

You forget the main part of a language is the library. Basically there is not
yet a good complete open java standard library available.
