Agreed! Just looking at the latest releases from you can see how much we
are growing (ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/classpath/):

classpath-0.08.tar.gz 5960 KB 03/13/04
classpath-0.09.tar.gz 6359 KB 05/02/04
classpath-0.10.tar.gz 6642 KB 07/09/04

With this patch the distribution tar.gz file shrinks to 3868K!

Thanks,
