Thanks!

Here is what needs to be done for 1.1.8:

* Either fix the serialization bugs leading to the two failing 
regression tests, or mark them as XFAILs, and file bugs for it in GNU 
Classpath's tracker, adding the failing tests to Mauve
* Merge in the dropped arm jit patch
* Merge in the dropped cygwin patch
* Merge in the interix port
* Remove the merged in fastjar and zlib and just use the jar tool on the 
system

Potentially:

* Remove the merged in GNU Classpath and just use an existing installation

Volunteers, step ahead!
