State of AWT-peers of MinGW/GCJ?

Tue Apr 13 12:40:00 GMT 2004

Hi Mohan,
Sorry if it is a newbie question, but:
- Why not use gcj/classpath GTK peers on win32, since there is a
GTK win32 port ?
- Do I miss a point (except the work needed to adapt configury) ?
(I have good results developping and running a GTK-based GUI
application on both linux/gcc/GTK/X11 and windows/VC++/GTK/win32).
