My latest gcj build uses SwingWT as the AWT and Swing implementation, but
my build shouldn't be construed as the official MinGW build. See this
page for more details:

SwingWT 0.81 (http://swingwt.sf.net) came out a couple of weeks ago and I still
need to update my MinGW build to reflect this.

The official MinGW gcj build on Sourceforge doesn't have AWT enabled at all.
There are currently no Win32 AWT peers. I started work on these, but have
hardly done anything and I don't see myself being able to complete them
anytime soon :(

Someone feel free to take these sources and run with them....

(In the above sources, I temporarily changed the "java" in java., javax., and
gnu.java. to  "lala" so I was able to pull everything into Eclipse and debug from
there - sweet!)
