2001-10-15  Bryce McKinlay  <bryce@waitaki.otago.ac.nz>

	* java/util/HashMap.java (HashEntry.clone): Removed.
	(HashMap(Map)): Use putAllInternal.
	(clone): Likewise.
	(putAllInternal): New method. Efficient counterpart to putAll which
	does not call put().
	* java/util/LinkedHashMap.java (rethread): Removed.
	(putAllInternal): New method. Clear "head" and "tail".
	(addEntry): New argument "callRemove". Don't call removeEldestEntry()
	if callRemove == false.

	* Makefile.am: Add new classes RandomAccess and LinkedHashMap.
	* Makefile.in: Rebuilt.
