Thanks. To be clear, I have only gotten "hello world" running. There
is still a bunch of work to be done to get Harmony Class Library
completely functional on a GNU Classpath JVM. For example, I
commented out security.

Good point. kernel/src/GNU_Classpath_wrapper........ makes more sense.
While we are at it, maybe create an empty directory for
kernel/src/Sun_Classpath_wrapper ;)
How do I get permission to add the directories and files to SVN?

Yes it is a pain keeping the different trees in sync. The benefit is
being able to run on GNU Classpath compatible JVMs. Note the Linux
source tree has a similar kind of problem accounting for all the
different hardware platforms.
