Okay,

I'm pretty bummed about the state of Mauve in helping to make it
easier to prove something works correctly in that so many tests are
simply missing.  This is where I'll be spending most of my energy in
the forseeable future.   I'm working on the beans api testing now mostly
so I can learn something about it.  I can see now that the measures I
felt were sort of draconian on the Jikes list with respect to patches
may be needed for Classpath as well just to help build up the base of
tests available.
