A test release is done !

The new revision may be incompatible with the previous, because:
	- The GLUFunc.gluNew* etc. methods uses the long type for 
	   the reference holder for quadric, tesselation, .. (old: int type) !

	   This is, because this new revision is completly 64bit clean !
	   All native reference holders are long !

	- You do not encapsulate your OpenGL calls within
		GLContext.gljMakeCurrent
			<your render code>
		GLContext.gljFree
	    e.g. within the GLCanvas.display method:
		glj.gljMakeCurrent();  // lock GL Context
			gl.glBegin();
			gl.glEnd();
			glj.gljSwap();
		glj.gljFree();	       // release GL Context

	All the demo's have been updated in the new test release,
	to work with 2.5.2.0 !

This new Version try's to use JDK >=1.3's JAWT API to handle with the native 
window ! The new library, which uses this is called "GL4JavaJauGljJNI13"  !

	I do have problems with IBM's JDK 1.3:
		No library "jawt" (linux: libjawt.so, win32: jawt.dll) exists at all !

	I do have problems with Sun's JDK 1.3 for Windows:
		No library "jawt" (linux: libjawt.so, win32: jawt.dll)
		is NOT found ! They do exist in jre/bin.

		Workaround: Add <java-home-dir>/jre/bin to your PATH environment variable !

Well, this version improves the multithreading behavior a lot.

I have attached the last CHANGES.txt changes ;-) here !

Thoughts & Ideas are wellcome !

Last but not least:
