Ugh, that's really bad... I was hoping to try for a cross compiler,
and if that fails, fall back to ssh'ing to a cygwin machine for
builds. Now it looks like the cross-compiler is my only hope...

I've got from now until 16-Dec to get libgcj running on mingw. When I
had hoped that this would be a simple-though-tedious process of
pairing up java.* methods to Win32 API calls, with appropriate glue
code... so far I've spent two days just trying to get a working
compiler =)
