I tried looking at SWT; not only doesn't it appear to be open source, and 
it certainly isn't easy to get to; you have to go through two registration 
processes to download it.  Also, it looks like it is tightly bundled with 
the IDE; has anybody actually seen this toolkit?  How hard does it look to 
separate out into something we could begin to convert?
