This patch probably should be included in the previous "copy Classpath
files to OpenJDK directory" commit, if that helps.

What do you mean re:"natives"?  If you mean that the dynamic
representation (field layout, etc) of classes is different, and that
JavaUpcalls is going to have lots of differences, then yes you're
absolutely correct :).

Doing it this way seemed "cleaner" (this process is teaching me new
things about that word, heh, sorry) since it was more friendly to
version control (operations like "copy", etc), as opposed to dropping
in new code that's 75% copied or whatever.
