timetable change on mingw-libgcj

Sun Dec 16 23:54:00 GMT 2001

Due to a combination of:
 1) The holidays
 2) Wanting to do a good, un-rushed job of preparing and discussing
 my patches
 3) XWT's impending 01-Jan-2002 release
 4) Apple deciding to give me a sexy new TiBook on "indefinite loan"
 so I can port XWT to MacOSX (thank you!!!)
 5) Me still not having any FSF papers to sign
I'm not going to submit my patches until mid-January. If anybody
desperately needs a mostly-working mingw-libgcj in the next month, I
can give you a tarball of my source tree, but I won't have much time
to help you around the rough edges.
Gratuitous screenshot (the windows app you see is a gcj-compiled java
program):

Alpha-blending and intelligent fontmatching are still wonky; that's
why there's black crap around all the icons and the menu fonts are
huge.
PS, has anybody ever tried GCJ on MacOSX? I can't see thing being too
difficult to get working...
