In that case, is ecj.jar folded into gcj for the final build? What is
ecjx? Is there a link that explains all of this? I thought the whole
point was to replace jc1 with ecjx (and it looks like ecjx is just
a renamed ecj1). I'm very confused by the theory behind all of
this and would appreciate any pointers.
