Ah, right, sorry, I mixed testing and stable apparently. But this doesn't
change much, I think.

For kaffe - yes, probably it'd need 2:, as for the others - I belive
that users of unstable won't be hurt too much if we don't. Unstable is
unstable after all :) But it's up to the respective maintainers.

I'll be flamed for that, but let it be.
Why not rather simply help improve (!=fix) SableVM to make it run all
these little (and bigger) apps we'd love to see running on a free JVM?
Just to give you some reasons: http://devel.sablevm.org/wiki/WhySableVM
Ehrm... cheers!
