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.**
