OK, there is http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla now.
We will try to keep it just for bugs caused by packaging, the different
build setup and replacement classes. And move everything else to the
openjdk bug database (or classpath bugzilla if it is caused by a
classpath replacement class).

The OpenSolaris people pointed me to their DTS requirements
http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/tools-discuss/2007-June/004003.html
That does indeed seem a pretty big list. But if they can solve that then
we can probably just adopt whatever they do. Worked great for the DSCM
choice :)
