Enough to count. I think any reasonable jvm1.1 will run jvm1.0, but
the reverse is certainly not always true.
I think virtual package 'jvm1.0', 'jvm1.1', and even 'jdk1.0',
'jkd1.1' are useful and should be created. While we're at it, maybe
we should kick up 'jvm1.2' and 'jdk1.2' too!
'jvm1.0' should be capable of running any Java VM Spec ver 1.0,
'jdk1.0' should give ability to compile any Java conforming to 1.0
spec, etc etc.
