Yes, I have CCed Cameron and Francis who might have the most up to date
status on all this. If we have a good description of what really must
work then we can concentrate on those parts of gcj, classpath, batik and
fop that are essential to the documentation team.

I installed FC6test3, but cannot find the fop package that Tom created
(or did I only dream that he did? maybe it was never submitted?). We
might need to import/backport some recent classpath CVS fixes into the
FC6 libgcj to make it all work since I know just days ago some new
support for batik went into GNU Classpath (hi Francis, hi Cameron).

Cheers,

Mark
