Some classes, like Object, Class, and String, we will probably never
merge.  But I think we really should try to merge as many as possible.
Not merging has a cost in terms of missed opportunities.  As Java
evolves, even a class like Integer gets new things added to it.
Having this as a merged class reduces the overall burden of keeping up
with Sun.  (There are also costs associated with merging of course.)

In this case I'm going to try to go the Classpath way and add
java.lang.VMClassLoader.
