> 3) Fix the libtool issue
> 4) Look at whether or not kjc should be updated
> 5) Incorporate rebuilding of the class libraries into the build procedure

> Klasses.jar into CVS each time it gets updated, that would be really nice,
> since the Klasses.jar,v file in the CVS repository is currently 107MB!,
> which explains why it's so slow to check stuff out.
> 6) Do the "Ports" and "Credits" pages on the website
So, uh, how is this stuff going?
> Hopefully, with a little help, I can get RC1 done this weekend.
No need to rush this, how about setting a date a little further out, like
july or the start of august.
