I was hoping you might be interested.
I'll generate a first pass at a patch set and we can iterate until everyone's happy with the changes. Thanks for the information!

Hi Chris,
of course GNU Classpath is interested in non-POSIX ports of the native
stuff. :)

Great!
Ports are a great way to see whether Classpath' native interface fits
the task good or may be further adjusted.

Just send your patch to classpath-patches@xxxxxxx along with a GNU-style
ChangeLog and a short description of your work.
On the legal side the GNU project needs a copyright assignment to the
FSF from you. Mark Wielaard, GNU Classpath' maintainer, takes care of
those (CCed). Drop him a line if you want to contribute or have
questions regarding the process. Some notes about the assignment are in
our Wiki[0].
As the assignment usually takes some weeks I suggest posting your patch
along with a GNU-style changelog and a description to
classpath-patches@xxxxxxx and receive technical suggestion from the rest
of the Classpath team (some info about the patch submission process[1]).
Regards
Robert
