charva has some part written in java (arch: all) and some in C. I think
I built it with my powerpc.

About all the other java packages, I'd like to move a lot of them in
main but even if kaffe (and sablevm) made good steps, they are not
stable (kaffe)/complete (both) enough to move them to main at the
moment. I don't think they'll be ready to move to main before Sarge.

Maybe we can deliver a delayed SarJe: Sarge with free java when every
free java virtual machines/compiler will be ready and when a lot of
package will move to main.

Second, I don't have the time to work a lot on the MovingJavaToMain
project at the moment. I hope I'll have more time in February or March
but this month I'm completely busy.

Happy new years, Cheers,
