Hi Norman,

I started building the gtk peers just a few days ago. I got a minimal
gtk-based AWT application running yesterday on my linux i586 machine.
Before contributing patches to gcc community, I just want to get
things cleaner (I need background on some configure machinery details).

Since you currently need an AWT library working and I need feedback
on this work, I will try to get this work done and contribute it
within next days. Maybe it can be useful for you ?
