libmawt.so is known to the VM. We use it with Embedded to detect if we 
are currently running our headless JRE or not: if xawt/libmawt.so (or 
motif21/libxawt.so) isn't present then it is an Embedded headless JRE.

So any change here would have to be coordinated with a VM change.

Glad I was subscribing to this list :)
