1.0alpha5 will compile/run under 1.1 (not taking advantage of it
fully, though)

My plan was for next release to be totally 1.1, I had hopes that by
next June, all Java VM would have been 1.1. As this doesn't seem to ne
realistic, I might, as you say have to do two releases (a tough job
:-(

If you have strong feelings against a Java 1.1 only release in June,
let me know,

Anselm.
