Incidentally, is libart really required?  I couldn't find any code that
uses it and Classpath seems to build and work fine without it.  As far
as I can see, the dependency was introduced in 1999 for the GTK peers
but I don't think that requirement still exists.

I can send a patch that removes the requirement and documentation
references (which should probably be applied after the release, to keep
it safe).
