I notice the new code has the libgcj license.  If it is derived from
Classpath it should have the LGPL instead -- we can't change the
license on this code.  Using the LGPL for the peers is still ok,
though, because Gtk itself is LGPL.

At some point I imagine we'll have to rethink this.

This is very cool!  We should have a news item for it.
