Thanks, this was indeed what was blocking me. I would like to add it to
the HACKING file.

	* HACKING: add description on updating namespace

I also noticed that this file only exists on the main branch, may I also
add it to the gcc-3_0-branch?

Is there a reason to do it this way for the java.lang, java.io and java.util
(sub)packages, but not for the other packages?

Cheers,

Mark
