My bad.  I honestly didn't have any idea what the upstream process would be. My
history in the free java world starts after openjdk/icedtea, so all the gcj
fluff isn't really known well to me, and I don't really know where to look for
information (pointers appreciated!  :D  ).  So I sort of let it slip through
the cracks.

I did bring it up on an earlier thread[1], and it seems like by accident it
also went to java-patches.  Now I know for next time, if and when there is a
next time.

cheers,
jon
