Ok, probably easiest to just work against the IcedTea7 &
IcedTea8 forests (http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea8-forest/hotspot
being the latter).
You should have push access (if not, ask Mark Wielaard).

I don't know who can actually review this; to my knowledge, only
Gary and Xerxes will be familiar enough with Shark.  If it's broken
without this patch, and it works with it, I'm happy enough for you
to commit it, but please check with Xerxes first.

Backporting fixes to IcedTea6 is a little more complicated
as it uses stable HotSpot snapshots so you'll need to work
out which fixes are needed and which aren't.
