Never mind, I misunderstood, this was a belated announcement.

So, something to collaborate on for the real 0.15 then?  I think there's 
been enough noise about SableVM on the list now for people to realize 
that it *does* indeed work with an up-to-date classpath, be it the 
official 0.14 release or CVS snapshot.

Please?  All this hoo-hah could be easily avoided in the future and we 
could spend more time hacking...
