./configure -with-engine=intrp to get the interpreter version.

You should also get the latest kaffe-snap.tar.gz snapshot
because it has numerous bug fixes since 1.0.b1.

:pserver:readonly at cvs.transvirual.com:/home/cvspublic
with password "readonly".

The Cygnus web site has a paper describing the garbage collection

Other than that, I don't know of any.. (except the code itself)
