The changes comparing to the original version are annotated in the sources.

In my opinion new-class is important to have because creating classes is often
needed when interacting with java libraries: to create a thread we need a Runnable,
to handle a button click we need an ActionListener, to find files in directory we 
need a Filter.

If independent version of new-class is not ready, probably it's possible to 
deliver runtime-class a a contrib, and user if wants to load it should provide
asm.jar in the classpath?

I mean to have jfli-abcl contrib which provides all the functions which possible
without runtime-class/asm.jar, but when we need new-class, we can get it
too by having asm.jar in classpath and loading the runtime-class contrib?

Best regards,
