Separate cvs repository is good idea for code reorganization. It sounded
like you wanted to start completely separate project.

Aggreed with one exception: CVS should contain files which are generated
using external/nonstandard tools. Headers etc. should not be included but
output from separate parsers, generators etc. should be.

Kaffe, ORP for example. But compiled code would be priority IMHO. I've
done some work with gcj and it's nice and all except its support for newer
libraries/language features is rather incomplete. However support for it
is important.

Don't know, sorry.
