The "merge" in this case is just a `cp'; anybody with commit access can do it. I haven't since I've been hoping Mark would write the javadoc, as he points out... >> We would be happy to contribute our changes in any manner people at >> GNU Classpath find convenient.

Are the changes made against a snapshot of the tree without the CVS directories? I think the very best way to get the changes would be a sequence of `cvs diff's, one per logical change.

That way once a patch has been discussed someone from the JRVM team can just check it in.
