I'm not too concerned about being able to compile more code.  But
that's because I'm guessing that code that references, say,
java.awt.FileDialog will then actually want to use it.  To put it
another way, right now I don't see java.awt patches as being "user
visible", since we already know that AWT doesn't work anyway.  That's
why I haven't been putting them on the branch.
