Alexey Zelkin has been working very hard on this.  Currently I'm trying
to merge in some 1.3 changes with his work.  Looks promising:

> ./j2sdk-image/bin/java -version
java version "1.4.0-internal"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.0-internal-glewis_13_aug_2002_15_29)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.0-internal-glewis_13_aug_2002_15_29, mixed mode)
> ./j2sdk-image/bin/javac HelloWorld.java 
> ./j2sdk-image/bin/java -classpath . HelloWorld
Hello, world.

Its actually further along than that demonstrates (Alexey got the JDK 
bootstrapping itself just the other night :).

Its not quite ready for a patchset, but its getting there.  The down side
is that it appears to take a lot longer to compile than 1.3 (my guess is
around double the time).
