[saga-rg] Current issue list

[Andre Merzky]

About the issue cited below:  our java people think that
bitmask are not that common in Java, but would feel
comfortable with any API spec defining bitmasks, as they are
easy enough to implement, and not considered ugly really.  I
got no other proposal from tyhem for defining flags, so I
think bitmasks it is -- unless there are other opinions on
this list (last calls!).

We checked the file permision stuff in Java, can you imagin
what they do?  A _string_ containing a comma separated list 
of keywords, such as "read, write" - ugh! ;-)

Cheers, Andre.
