And at least the image color handling should be fixed now. Apparently
that bridge wasn't blue after all :)

It is a good idea to try to make this work with the free stack. We will
try to work with Sun on their OpenJDK effort. But one of the prominent
pieces which they might not be able to release is the graphics
rasterizer. So making sure things like WW2D works with GNU Classpath now
will help us see whether or not we can plug in our graphics pipeline
(based on cairo) when their code becomes available.

Thanks,
