I tried to post the following to your blog, but apparently it didn't get
through. Here is some historical info on the old pre-2003 and early
VMClass interface discussions in GNU Classpath:
        
        One of the earlier discussions/documentation on changing the GNU
        Classpath VM layers was in 2003 during the GNU Classpath
        Workshop at the LinuxCongress 2003: 
        http://www.linux-kongress.org/2003/bofs/index.html
        
        Slides are at:
        http://klomp.org/mark/classpath/slides/gnu_classpath_workshop.html
        In particular onwards from slide 10, it is explained why we
        wanted to switch to the VMClass design:
        http://klomp.org/mark/classpath/slides/img10.html
        Which later also incorporated other stuff like the VM classes in
        io, net, etc.

Cheers,

Mark
