Is this OK? It is modeled after the Ada section.

2006-01-31  Mark Wielaard  <mark@klomp.org>

    * doc/contrib.texi (Contributors): Add classpath/libgcj hackers
    who added new 4.1 features, bug fixes and integration support.

Good point. The above list was constructed by looking over the
contributions made between gcc 4.0 and 4.1 (and doesn't list people
contributing before or contributing new things after the last
classpath/libgcj merge). GNU Classpath has a list of all hackers, but it
isn't completely up to date. I'll try making a complete list for all
classpath contributors ever. If that is added and published I'll add a
link in contrib.texi to it.

Cheers,

Mark
