normally, it starts with a build that completes. :-) but i'm
willing to be educated on what might go horribly wrong since it's been
a while since i've used java and i'm refreshing my skills now.

but there's nothing like testing it to find out. i can start with
trying the emulator and seeing if that still works properly. beyond
that, is there a comprehensive test suite i can stress the result
with? i'm about to try out the emulator to see what happens.

well, i captured all 23,399 lines of output from the full build, so
it's easy enough for me to check. and it would appear that all
redefinition warnings have to do with *macros* being redefined, not
methods. is there something specific i should look for since i have
access to the full build output?

p.s. out of those 24,000 lines of output, only 71 of them refer to
something being "redefined". since that's not that many, i can post
them if you want. and i suspect it would be easy enough to patch the
existing code base to remove most of them.
