I was on the verge of making a contribution to IBM with patches which would 
allow JRVM 2.10 to work with Classpath, but only using the "baseline" compiler.

I almost got the Optimising compiler to work (actually had it running at some 
stage), but then got bogged down with problems using the jikes java compiler.

What I plan to do in the next few days is to review my changes to allow the 
baseline compiler to work, and submit that to IBM.

Sean, if you're in a hurry to play with JRVM + Classpath, let me know and I'll 
send you the necessary patches.
