Waiting for 1.1.5 would be a real drag.. :-(

I'd be keen on helping out with a port to 1.1.4; but looking thru' the
code, there's stuff that I've never dealt before (eg: context
switching stuff) and which would take me a bit of time to get up to
speed on. Having someone else to discuss it with would sure make it a
lot simpler. So yes, A "Team Java-FreeBSD" would be a major plus.

Cheers.
