Thanks - I was wondering that - a particular GUI application works compiling to
native on linux (which uses a GTK peer, I think) so I am wondering if
I could just dump win32 GTK somewhere under mingw and build gcj with awt-enabled
to make it work.

Oh, thanks. I didn't realised that was the approach you took... anyway, I found 
my problem now (separate post), and you probably want to know that your win32
binaries actually works under wine - although rather slowly, but I bet it
is a wine fault.
