Don't be - you did a great job supporting the mingw32 target!
Getting our 200k+ lines of java code to work with it is progressing
much better than I expected. So far, I've only come across three
places where we use an API method not supported by gcj.
If you're taking votes...

Yes please! We use it in a couple of places, and if you don't
add it, I'll have to in a couple of weeks. Also, if you want to
add in Runtime.exec( String[], String[], File ) (added in 1.3 I think )
that would be great.

This would be _very_ useful - while getting our code to compile, an 
exception would be thrown but I didn't know from where. I'd end up
having to stick a bunch of printlns throughout the code to track
down its cause.

Is there any way that GDB would/could be used for debugging? 
Anyways, thanks again for your work on the port ( and also, to
all the gcj coders! !
