Nope, although I had to do the same because I just couldn't get Class.forName() working
under MINGW (see http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2002-12/msg00147.html).

BTW, have you tried building the SWT file manager ? I got some really strange
behavior from that when I tried it under GCJ...

I might create an INNO Setup program with all of Ranjit's stuff... that would
make it more marketable to Windows users I think...
