That sounds an awful lot like #ifdefs, though #ifdefs don't exist in Java
(strange, I thought I'd miss them :-)



Is there a place to register ideas/suggestions for such a project?


Here is one:


It might be useful to support 16 bit chars, but compiling the libgcj 
in metal mode for 8/16 bit would be more than flexible enough. 
Conversion between charsets should be considered out of scope.
