I fixed the imports, but setting the field cap across package boundaries 
is more difficult. I think java.nio.Buffer needs to be rewritten to 
store its data in public fields in a helper class in 
gnu.java.nio.Buffer, rather than in default fields directly in Buffer. 
Otherwise, the implementation classes need to be moved to package 
java.nio.  Also, it looks like several of the files in gnu.java.nio were 
generated by using a pre-processor; that should be better documented, 
and a script for automatically regenerating them be stored in CVS along 
with the .cpp files.
