My work is basically fetch the classpath cvs diff of the corresponding 
patch, apply it to the libgcj and adjust the Makefile.am if necessary.
So the core work is still done by the classpath patch originator. In 
this case by Casey.

My goal is to get only a minimal diff between CP and libgcj, I do not 
change anything in the patch unless I see it is necessary.

So the flagging you mention above was done by Casey. And I'm only the 
worker doing the merge part :) (P.S, I do not want to blame anyone, I 
just want to clarify that the credits do not go to me)

If still ok I'll commit soon.

Thanks,
Andreas
