All the publicly defined buffer classes are abstract anyway.
So yes, I think all classes defined in the 1.4 api spec should be part
of Classpath. We can even provide sample implementations of most of the
non-abstract classes. But lets first write all the java code, most of it
is infrastructure anyway. Then we can pester the VM writers to give us
efficient optimized support.
