I'd like to be able to build classpath for something other than
Japhar.  Second I'd like to incorporate enough outstanding patches to
execute the various benchmarks and other reasonably trivial apps.
This is mostly a bug fixing exercise.  I think these two would make
releasing something meaningful.

That should be enough.

Sure.  You should think about writing some basic Mauve tests that
would work when your implementation works.  Contributing to Mauve is
easy.
