#2 Remove SWT dependency on ikvm
In the current codebase, SWT support is enabled by the
use of the excellent ikvm toolkit. This means SWT has
been ported at all, just statically compiled/run via ikvm.
This is a tactical decision that has speeded the
delivery of the platform. Nevertheless, it is less than
optimal and a complete port of SWT to C# would be the
strategic goal.
I should note here that the SharpDevelop team attempted
a port a few years ago - called #WT - and their work
may be of some use in this task.
**PLEASE READ THE #WT LICENSE CAREFULLY, ECLIPSEDOTNET
HAS A LIBERAL LICENSE AND THE #WT LICENSE MAY BE TOO
RESTRICTIVE.**
