building gcj on OS X (also AWT)

[Michael Purdy]

John

I was checking out your under-construction article.  I think that the
SWT option is really quite valid and could allow for good native
compilation with native widgets being used.  Now, I'm not 100% sure that
swt.jar can be compiled to native for OSX with gcj, as I tried last
night but ran into some problems.  I will be trying again today. (if
anyone has had success, please correct me here).

Assuming swt.jar can compile to native and link against any other
compiled-to-native .java class that uses it, it really is a good sell!

Thanks for the update Andreas.

I've gotten the next article started, but it's only just a skeleton
