This approach was discussed at length, but in the end,
Adam Megacz decided against it and instead
recommended forking the Win32 net code and Posix code
completely:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2003-01/msg00093.html
Michael has forked the Win32 and Posix code at the trunk:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java-patches/2003-q1/msg00800.html
...but Tom never responded when I asked whether this should
be done at the 3.3 level too and Michael asked Tom what to do
since Michael had no 3.3 tree:
