Some good ideas here, but let's not exclude other JVMs such as SableVM
or kissme.  A side question of mine at the moment is whether any of
these support working with the AWT and native peer code other than
GCJ.

If the state of texidoclet is such that it can be used to generate
documentation then work to produce a manual with that would be great.
Work on the Javadoc in general is always welcome.  I've not personally
spent much time looking at it, ever.  I'm certain we're missing
@version or @deprecated tags in places.  I think we also have to go
back and add @serial type stuff.
