Subject: File.toURL() problem

One of the few local changes I had to make to Xalan is related to File.toURL().

xsltc contains 
      (new File(stylesheetName)).toURL()
which for the JDK returns "file:myname", but for gcj returns "file:/myname".

I worked around this problem in xsltc by using the following instead:
      new URL("file", "", -1, stylesheetName)

...which appears to give the desired behaviour.
