Re: Notes for porters

Sounds like a good idea. Anything I do will include comments on
what I changed and why. If it is a new source file, why and where it fits into
the overall source scheme will be documented in comments. If we all do the
same, it will be easy for someone to compile these comments into a series of
porting notes. We might want to flag all such comments in a consistent way so
that tools may easily extract the applicable comments. Maybe /* OJ: .... */
or /* java2: ... */.
Opinions, please.
