I checked the SPECjvm98, JOlden, and JGF single- and multi-threaded 
suites, on i686, with gcc-2.95.4 for 1.0.9 and gcc-3.3.2 for 
staging-r1575, with the switch-debug and inlined interpreters only, and 
the "correctness" is only against the stdout/stderr of a single trial 
run.  We still need to work on a multiple-architecture regression suite 
that actually tests all the compilation modes if we want to be really 
sure in the future.  But at least there don't appear to be any 
fundamental regressions.

Seems like common practice would be to put a single INSTALL file in the 
top level of sablevm.

Other than that it's all great!
