LOL.

He was grumbling about lack of support on obscure unixen AFAICS. This 
will be rectified along with a load of unix packaging, usability, 
strategic and political issues by getting 0.7 to work on Kaffe and GCJ.
Which should be relatively straightforward as we won't be using NIO, 
freenet _almost_ works on Kaffe now, and GCJ 4.0 will have a hell of a
lot of bug fixes not in the 3.X public version. When GCJX ships
(rewritten front end, hopefully in GCJ 4.1), we can start using
generics.
