+// mac os 9, but the javac for jdk 1.1 doesn't seem to like the 
+// file format of the classes produced by jikes, which is revision
+// 57 code instead of rev 55. 
+
+// using jikes -target 1.1 doesn't seem to help. the next attempt

+// into the bagel build scripts, but javac actually crashed (not
+// just and exception, but an application crash) whenever used
+// (especially if called on long paths/from another directory).
+
+// there are plenty of ways to address this, but for the time being,
+// it's not worth the time so we'll just suspend macos9 support.
