The MasterCL thing is only really necessary for Sun's VM (since it
objects to use of java.* and makes you jump through hoops for javax.*).

For Kaffe, you should be able to just grep | sed s/swingwt\.awt/java.awt
over the SwingWT sources (much more reliable than mastercl and without
any overhead translating classloader calls). You might have to remove
the AWT/Swing stuff from classpath - unless Kaffe supports
-bootclasspath (which I'm too lazy to look up right now).

The thisiscool MingW distribution have done this (after removing the GNU
classpath AWT/Swing sources) so you can build native Win32 Swing/AWT
apps. See http://www.thisiscool.com/gcc_mingw.htm

Cheers (and keep up the great work with Kaffe!),
