--portable-native-sync; own threading system and AWT

[Steven Augart]

Dear Classpath Folks:

I spent some time this weekend working on fixing the 
--portable-native-sync support in Classpath; it's been broken since 
Classpath started using GTK 2.  Sorry I didn't get it done in time for 
0.09 to go out.  I expect to have something that works out by 
Wednesday (Thursday for Jim Huang in Taiwan).  This should make 
Claspath's AWT work again on Jikes RVM and on Kaffe, as well as on any 
other VM that uses its own threading system rather than the underlying 
Linux pthread system.

If anybody else has been working on this (Jim Huang (jserv) has 
already shared his partial implementation with me and we've merged 
code bases please let me know so that we don't duplicate effort; 
ideally, you'll share your half-written code with me too :).

Cordially Yours,

--Steven Augart
