Good point Chris. Yes, everyone is invited to hack on kaffe
except those poor folks that agreed to a Sun license and looked
at Sun source code. It is important to note that this only applies
to source code for the JVM and class libs. You will need to look
at the Sun JDK docs and the language specs if you want to help out.
