We were all mistaken. No amount of email coordination would have made it any 
faster or better. What unblocked this issue was the unexpected arrival of a 
set of patches developed by Sandro Tolaini making gcj 4.0.2 functional on 
Intel Mac OS X. Until then, the word on the gcj mailing list [1] had been that 
Intel Darwin support wasn't going to be released until gcj 4.2.0 which is 
nowhere close to being released, ie many months away.

Once that hurdle was cleared, getting Chandler up didn't that long - a day 
more or less - as hoped.
