The main reason is that I just want one of my own for the fun of it! :-)
That also means I understand it and can debug it competently if something
breaks. Other motivations are portability/suitabilty for use on embedded
systems. E.g. I'm tired of programming in C all the time when programming
in Java would be so much nicer, but is not practical for various reasons.

This is a spare time project so it's not getting as many time slices as
I'd like, so don't expect anything useful out of me for a while. However
I would not have considered attempting such a project if Classpath didn't
exist, so.. thanks :-)

Cheers,
