Cool! You are targeting the Microsoft dotNet platform at the moment.
Have you looked at dotGNU and/or Mono?
How do you handle the native code?

Thanks, good catch. I have made the changes in CVS. In the long run we
will want to merge our code with libgcj which has seen much more
testing.

I saw you have put up an archive with your own modified Classpath. Do
you have a list of other changes you made? I will try to take a look at
it later.

Cheers,
