No, we should not silently give the user a crippled AWT. Disabling it
should be an active choice by the user if they really want it. I have
seen the pain that silently disabling support (like java.math in kaffe)
can give if you think you have a fully functional product but when you
run some more tests it suddenly starts to mysteriously break down, just
because configure couldn't find the installation dir of some needed
library.
