Oh, I see now that you distribute the .class files and use them to build 
libgcj.jar.  Is there a reason why you cannot checkin only the JAR file 
instead?  JAR files compress a file at a time, so the deltas between two 
revisions would not be much bigger than the cumulative deltas between 
the class files.  OTOH, I can imagine that it's tricky to get the 
dependencies right in the Makefile.
