Hi Michael,

First, you will need to have a copyright assignment form for GCC sent to 
the FSF before we can accept big patches - please see 
http://gcc.gnu.org/contribute.html.

As for the patch itself, we do want to accept -classpath and other VM 
flags that the JDK supports. However, it would be much better to move 
the argument handling into libgcj itself rather than create additional 
hooks for each argument. This way, the same code can be used by the 
JNI/CNI invocation interfaces to process VM arguments. We discussed this 
a bit on the list recently: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2002-04/msg00165.html

If you want to help implement this, it would be great!

thanks

Bryce.
