I am willing to help where possible. Sending patches or bugfixes is OK
(and I will do so if I come across any problems), but in my opinion
this does not address the real problem. For example *I* cannot update
the GNU Classpath page to list 0.99, and not 0.98, as the current
version.

What would you like me to do? How can I help ?
