I added serialVersionUID to a bunch of public java lang/net/util classes 
a wile back. I used jdk/bin/serialver to generate the serialVersionUID 
and verified that it was the same for previous versions of the class 
back to when the class was originally added. Not such a problem when you 
have archived jdk's back to 1.1.8 in /java/re in the US domain! Maybe 
Sasha could do something similar.
