gcj:
I wasn't expecting much when I started playing
with this, but I'm actually impressed; it's nice having
"just another GCC frontend" for Java. If you're working with
this stuff, by the way, the following makes a nice little
addition to your GNU make makefiles:
JCC=gcj
% : %.o
$(JCC) $(LDFLAGS) --main=$@ $< -o $@ $(LDLIBS)
%.o : %.java
$(JCC) -c $(CFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS) $< -o $@
Caveat: the "--main=$@" option isn't such a good
idea, since it really could be anything you want. It works
for me, since I follow that convention, but someone better
versed in the ways of make may want to adjust that a bit to
taste.

Hopefully, I'll squeeze a release out this
weekend, regardless of the "readiness" of it. If I don't get
one out, I never will. ;-) I'm expecting the only changes to
be documentation updates, besides what's already in the CVS
version.
