Oops, I forgot the changelog for this patch:

2000-06-20  Bryce McKinlay  <bryce@albatross.co.nz>

 * java/lang/ThreadGroup.java: Merged with classpath.
 * prims.cc (_Jv_RunMain): Don't use `main_group'.
 * gnu/gcj/runtime/FirstThread.java: Remove ThreadGroup constructor
 argument.
 * java/lang/Thread.java (Thread): Bootstrap initial thread from
 ThreadGroup.root if Thread.currentThread is null. Honour the
 ThreadGroup's max priority setting.
