JC overrides several Classpath classes. Each upgrade is pretty much
done by hand by examining the diffs and merging in the new stuff.
I try to keep the CP <-> JC patch as small as possible to ease
future merges.
This was especially fun for 0.07 -> 0.08 because somebody rearranged
the order of all the methods in Class.java and Thread.java :-)
