Ugh. I really don't like the idea of working on all that nasty
dejagnu code.
I think we need to have some test of the driver somewhere.

The jar file is nearly 10M. The class files look to be about 17M.
The header jar was nearly 1M, header files alone are 1.7M.
I think we probably need buy-in from other gcc developers before
checking this stuff in.
