+(l) proper java native interface (JNI)
+ -> atm just hackish solution.
+ -> also, arguments are passed in the wrong order
+ -> estimated effort: 3-4 days
+
+(l) exceptions
+ -> for gnu classpath absolutely necessary
+ -> estimated effort: unknown
+
+(l) gnu classpath integration
+ -> would be awwwesome
+ -> depends on: exceptions, jni (?)
+ -> estimated effort: unknown
+
+(m) testing: hunit? quickcheck? other?
+ -> we have `make tests' now, but it should be only considered as
+ high-level test. we need something
+ -> estimated effort: for infrastructure, 2-3 days
+
+(l) instanceof, checkcast
+ -> typechecking at runtime. with displays or something
+ -> depends on: exceptions (not absolutely necessary, but preferable)
+ -> estimated effort: 1 day
+
+(h) bug (?): can there be a namespace clash with static and non-static methods?
+ -> the signature doesn't contain the static modifier
+ -> estimated effort: some hours (if a fix is needed)
+
+(h) global map hack:
+ -> it's an stupid and ugly hack. we don't want that.
+ -> estimated effort: unknown. research for a solution is needed
+
+(l) cabal file
+
+(h) so much cleanup...
+ -> define constant for native size stuff
+ -> and much more
+
+(m) enable easy recompiliation of a method
+ -> we need a map where all callers are stored
+ in order to patch those to the new address
+ -> free old code region. maybe replace it with
+ some magic values, e.g. which produce a signal
+ in order to enable easier debugging
+
+(h) get rid of trap.c
+ -> it's C. we don't want that.
+ -> at the moment System.Posix.Signal isn't powerful enough
+ -> wait for: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2451
+
+(l) check different types (byte, long, ...)
+
+(l) get rid of CUInt where appropriate
+ -> CPtrdiff and CSize (ptrdiff_t and size_t) is more portable
+
+(l) floating point support
+
+(h) better code generation
+ -> at least peephole optimazation would be nice (e.g. kill `push eax; pop
+ eax')
+ -> but we want more!!11 ;-)
+ -> estimated effort: 2-3 weeks
+
+(m) benchmark for presentation
+
+(l) get rid of missingh
+ -> huge dependency and we just need one function of it
+
+
+(l) ... low priority
+(m) ... medium priority
+(h) ... high priority
+
+
+what we won't do anytime soon:
+( ) garbage collection
+( ) thread support
+( ) verifier
+
