Jato v0.1.0 released

Hi all!

I'm happy to announce the release 0.1.0 of Jato!

Jato is an open source, JIT-only virtual machine for Java that aims to support
the JVM specification version 2 including 1.5 amendments. It is not complete
but you can run some Java applications with it on 32-bit x86 Linux machines.
Jato uses Boehm GC as its garbage collector and GNU Classpath to provide
essential Java run-time libraries. A port to the x86-64 architecture is
currently ongoing.

Highlights of this release:

   - Boehm GC integrated to the VM (Tomek, Pekka)

   - Fixes to make Eclipse Java compiler (ECJ) work (Tomek)

   - Lots of fixes to the x86-64 port (Eduard-Gabriel)
