Hi all,

I started hacking on invokedynamic again:

I'm planning to use ASM for generating bytecode for method handle
chains. Does that sound like a reasonable thing to do? We already
carry the ASM code under tools/external/asm/. Can I just move that
under external/ and rename the package so that it doesn't clash with
the upstream project?
