This is also how libgcj has it setup. We still need to merge the java.io
stuff with that code. See the status of the merge at:
http://gcc.gnu.org/java/libgcj-classpath-compare.html. I will look at
their and your stuff and try to merge it with the Classpath code soon. 

But I have trouble getting the Orp VM running with a recent Classpath so
it is a bit hard to do any testing... :{
