I think all of the packages Tom mentioned really deserve to live in the
"logical" libgcj. That is, they are free implementations of stuff you'd get in
the JDK. We've already started creating separate libraries (libgcjx for the
graphics support packages). We can always create more when it makes sense.
This doesn't solve the build time problem, but I don't think there's any way
around this. It doesn't compare with glibc yet, but it's still getting pretty
big. If we import the org.omg classes, that's an extra ~800 files right there!
