Sun Microsystems do much more than java yet that is very clearly implied
since jikes is not going to compile using "classes from UltraSPARC server" :)

Well, I don't. I haven't seen any emails citing problems with
calling Jikes + SableVM = jikes-sable
So I'm puting this up to a vote. Everyone that cares, send me votes
in private and I'll tally them up by Sunday, Feb 23 2003
NOTE: The description says:
jikes-sable - Wrapper for jikes using classes from SableVM
----
[ ] - change jikes-sable to jikes-sablevm
[ ] - leave as is
----
If I receive less than 5 votes, the name stays. Greg and I don't count :)
Thanks,
Adam
