I hate to say it but HARMONY-1582  invocation_api.patch is basically
unreadable.  And, yes, I do want to read this diff even if it takes me all
night.  This is real important stuff to get correct.  Using only gdb/jira to
beat the bugs out of this kind of code is the slow way to do it.

Evgueni, would it be possible for you to post a version of the patch where
"diff -w -B" is used?  -w ignores whitespace and -B ignores blank lines.  I
think you can do this with:

"svn diff  --diff-cmd diff.exe  -x  -w  -x  -B"

So a good question is how do we start?  There is no patch yet for
1537, and there is still ongoing discussion of 1582, given it's
complexity.
