Committed.

On the topic of the generics branch, I've just been reading the post you
sent to address@hidden with respect to gcjx.  I'm particularly
interested in any progress you've made on handling the generics branch,
especially with respect to just handling the bytecodes it produces.  At
present, I have ecj compiling the branch just fine (well, without errors
-- there are still several thousand warnings relating to the use of raw
types, the fixing of which would just seem to unnecessarily increase its
distance from HEAD at present).  

However, the result is useless as nothing can even handle it, let alone
bootstrap with it.  I was thinking of taking a look at fixing something
like jamvm to handle it, but if you're already working on something
similar with gcjx, then this may be a better target (particularly as the
verifier catches the ldc construct, while I guess that's what's causing
the segfault I get with JamVM).  Is there anything I can do to help on
this score?

Cheers,
