 * Try to help us fixing the problems

KNOWN PROBLEMS (the list may be out of date):
 * "Inlined" engine doesn't work on some platforms so they default to "direct"
 * "Inlined" engine can be slower than direct (this is GCC 3.3.3+ problem!)

GETTING CODE:
 * If you're reading this text from a source tarball, you may skip this part.
 * You can always checkout code from Subversion repository, ex. to get "staging"
   versions of SableVM and it's GNU Classpath use:
	svn co svn://svn.sablevm.org/sablevm/branches/staging sablevm
	svn co svn://svn.sablevm.org/sablevm-classpath/branches/staging sablevm-classpath
 * You can grab development snapshot from http://devel.sablevm.org/shot ex.
   sablevm-staging*.tar.gz sablevm-classpath-staging*.tar.gz for "staging"
   versions of SableVM and it's GNU Classpath
   NOTE: Subversion is not required to compile snapshots of Subversion repository.
