i was unable to test with Kissme because the latter is broken (at least 
in my env).  the only reliable way of testing i found was to do as 
suggested above --i.e. apply the same patch to the gcc/libjava tree-- 
and then run the gcc make check with:

$ MAUVEDIR=path/to/your/mauve/dir make check RUNTESTFLAGS="mauve.exp"

of course this may not be appropriate for Classpath (and non-GCJ) 
specific patches.
