I'd love to have a go at it.

As soon as the offstream minGW version I'm using self-builds correctly, I
will be able to re-compile the CVS snapshot locally. If it weren't for
Ranjit Mathew's patches, I wouldn't even have the opportunity to use GCJ
today; but I still can't build GCJ on Win2K.

I could try to co-install linux on my laptop and run it jointly with Win2K,
but then I would first have to figure out how the particular linux
distribution works. I'll have a go at that one too, one day or the other.

I may also have to figure out autoconf, make, automake, and what have you.
The GCC/GCJ sources are interspersed with these things, and there not
immediately clear to me. GCJ is not your average java project! Java skills
are definitely not enough; and a lot of these tools are not necessarily
intuitive. It's not like reading an Ant build file.
