Thanks. I found most of how you use Classpath in your CVS tree.

OK. I will wait patiently :)

I am mainly interested in what was good/bad about our current VM
integration interface and what VM specific changes you had to make to
Classpath proper. If at all possible I want to try to have as small
number of forks of the Classpath code to make sure that when we release
a new Classpath version VMs can just pick it up and plug it into the VM.
(Note that we are a long way from that ideal - and might never
completely reach it - and that till we reach a 1.0 version the VM
interface will probably keep changing a little bit between releases.)

Cheers,

Mark
