Good to hear. I was going to prepare a new version of the Jaos VM to release
my latest changes (an new improved jit-compiler, a few slides from a lecture
I'm currently giving, and some documentation as part of my thesis).

I will wait for the 0.05 release to integrate the new libraries in Jaos: the
timing is almost perfect, as I should have more time from february on.

The good news for the moment are:
* Jaos is not dead
* I did run the Spec JVM 98 on Jaos with Classpath: 201_compress, 202_jess,
209_db, and 228_jack are working fine (though I did my last checkout in
march). The other benchmarks fail because of some errors in Jaos. The
results on my website are those with the old compiler; with the new one the
code should be about twice as fast.
