But new year is such a good excuse!
I'd like to say that the GCJ is one of the projects that
has truely opened up my eyes to what the opensource community 
can achieve. 
I have been able to solve some sticky issues w.r.t. 
how I was able to sell Java to a client that wanted a 
Visual Basic solution. :-) (specifically, deployment 
w/o JRE).
Happy new year!
Øyvind,
your humble bug-reporter and GCJ contributer wannabe
