Fair enough.
I wrote a couple scripts that work for me. They are appended. They
are pretty bogus; the `build' script just recompiles everything each
time, and the `copy-awt' script hard-codes the names of the files you
need today (but maybe not tomorrow :-).
However, with these scripts I can follow a simple recipe:
* Build classpath. Make sure you --enable-jni
* Make a new place to hack: mkdir gcj-awt; cd gcj-awt
* Copy the files: copy-awt /path/to/classpath/src .
* Build: ./build
* Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH the way that build says to; don't forget to
include the libgcj libdir (for non-system installs)
* ./TestAWT

I think we can't do that right now, since we're in the wrong phase of
the gcc release cycle. However I think we should put this in as soon
as possible and have it appear in 3.4.
