udanax-gold2java 20051106 release

This release is focused on packaging up the modest progress made
towards the execution of the Udanax-Gold testing classes on the Java
translated code. The author has gained access to some of the Udanax
trace logs from successful runs of the Tester classes which has
allowed a significant improvement in the correctness of the generated
code. In addition some progress has been made on the missing disk API.
The current "blocker" is the use of the Smalltalk become operation,
which is used in both the persistence mechanism, and the core Ent data
structure. The java Proxy class mechanism appears to allow one way
around this.

The generated Abora-Gold Java code is still a long way from being
considered a framework to be used by others. The translator is also
suffering from a severe case of overgrown-prototype syndrome. But,
things are definitely going in the right direction now, after being lost for
months wading through compilation errors in generated Java code!
