Dear Mike,

I see no way in which your working on this task could possibly hurt 
GNU Claspath's clean room status.  So I encourage you to go for it.

We run nightly regression tests against Classpath and Mauve for Jikes 
RVM, and post them to the (public) list 
address@hidden  However, we don't compare 
them to a current Sun VM, we don't run all of Mauve, and we don't post 
the results to a web site (unless you count the mailing list archive 
for jikesrvm-regression as a web site).   So I think this is still needed.

I have sent you a copy of the Jikes RVM 
night-sanity-mauve-test-starter script, under separate cover, to help 
you get you on your way.
