They are no real showstoppers. I experience the current minGW/gcj as an
excellent starting point. And it does help that it shares the pedigree and
renommee of the gnu tool chain. It fits right into a 20-year old and proven
tradition.

I'm personally working on freestyler/swtmodelartist, which is an upstream
source generator targetting swt/gcj, but I won't be vapouring any more about
it before it's ready to show. And I admit that it is ridiculously ambitious,
but I still hope to pull it off.
