It would be nice if there was a flag in jcf-dump that would cause it to   
write the stack and local variable states before each instruction using   
the verify.c code.  This would make debugging of verification and of any  
compilers that output .class files easier.                                
                                                                          
I saw the reason why we cannot just use the sun class libraries.  It seems
that maybe only the classes in the java.lang package are heavily          
integrated with the Java VM.  I think that it may be possible to use the  
gcj java.lang package with the rest of the sun class library.  It appears 
that the native functions that are in other packages like AWT may be in   
separate libraries that could be linked into gcj projects                 
                                                                          
Because of the high integration between the java.lang package and the Java
VM, I think it may be better if the GNU Classpath did not contain a       
java.lang package and assumed anyone implementing a Java VM would create  
their own.  This may make having multiple GNU Java VM projects using      
Classpath easier.
