Re: [aspectj-dev] 1.1rc2

Yes, many thank-you's!

I'm surprised about the readme and doc index links; I'll confirm the fixes.

I would agree that it's better to keep spacewar compatible with JDK 1.1
than to upgrade it for 1.4.1.  For rc2 we can document the issue; for
final we can consider also emitting a println.
