I was talking with Arun and this idea came up.
Shouldn't we have another module inside the RI to host miscellaneous
utility code like
1) local transport
2) dump pipe
?
It's somewhat like our test harness, but the idea is that it hosts
things that don't need to be shipped, but nevertheless useful for the
development. And unlike the test harness, this can live in the java.net
CVS repository.
What if we call that the 'util' module (or any other good name
suggestion welcome.)
Since it doesn't have to be a part of Mustang. I think the impact of
necessary build script change is small.
