Another missing piece that isn't really there is the locale data.

According to japi we aren't really missing much API at all.  I suspect
some of the "errors" listed on the comparison page are actually things
that changed in later JDK releases (it would be cool if japi knew how
to do a 3 way comparison so we could filter these out).

Yeah, this is actually easy to do.  I plugged it into gcjx in a day or
so, basically you just need some typedefs and glue functions.
