I'm using the latest gcj release candidate for minGW, which is still
gcj-3.2-20021210-1. Since the patches used to produce this version are out
of sync with CVS, it's quite some task to crosscompile gcj for minGW from
linux. As soon as gcj builds natively on minGW, I'll switch over to the
version in CVS.

incompatible changes, so it isn't entirely our fault.
Adding stuff to interfaces, automatically breaks older implementations. Sun
has done it at least 3 times now. So, be prepared for future breakage :)
