On the classpath side, the big merge changes very, very little.  It
adds a new command-line option to configure.

On the gcj side, this is going on the trunk.  So if it depends on
anything new it will be things in 4.1.

I meant I would like to put this in before 0.16.  But I misread that
as "end of this month", which might be hard.  (Though after reading
your comments I think it will go in sooner.)

Primarily I'm talking about the private member access bug.  E.g., we
have this in our tree as a workaround:

        * external/sax/org/xml/sax/helpers/NamespaceSupport.java
        (EMPTY_ENUMERATION): Now package-private.
