Jeez, he's going to contribute to Kaffe, but if he wants to contribute
to both projects, he should start with Classpath. Telling him
otherwise would prevent him from contributing to Classpath, which is
not what he wants to do! And I'm not going to tell him he shouldn't
contribute to Classpath, so what other options did I have? Yep, I
could keep quiet, but why?

There's no ongoing masterplan, sorry :-)

It couldn't be sun.tools.jar, for one. kaffe.tools.jar,
gnu.tools.jar, whatever, but sun.tools.jar is forbidden for us.
Furthermore, if Classpath does not want it, better for us!
