servlet code

On www.klomp.org there is a GNU implementation of the servlet API, and
from the naming it would appear it part of (or intended to be part of)
Classpath. However, it doesn't seem to be in the Classpath CVS tree.
It is copyright Free Software Foundation. The license is LGPL.
I'm working on some servlet-related code, and I'm wondering what to
do. First, we we want javax.servlet (and javax.jsp) in libjava?
I would say yes - it makes things easier, and we already have
javax.naming in there.
Second question is: Can/should we use the code on klomp.org? It seems
like that would make sense - but the licensing needs to be changed to
that of libgcj (and now also classpath). If the code were part of
Classpath, we can do that as part of the deal with the FSF. But I
don't know if the code is technically part of Classpath if it has not
been checked in. If the authors (who I've cc'd) agree, there should
be no problem, though the FSF may need a copyright assignment.
