I definitely would, but I definitely wouldn't work on it myself. Tried
it some months ago without success. I'd like to see more of our spells
build with gcj instead of j2sdk, but that also needs a lot of testing.
The ant on my redhat box at work was buggy in a very subtle way due to
being built with gcj, though I think that shouldn't usually be the case
anymore with classpath being at the state it is now.
