<AWT Dev> Proposal:AIX's CDE/MWM support

[Phil Race]

I think we'd need to see the actual proposed changes and understand the 
implications
for ongoing support as we no longer support any platform which has a CDE 
desktop.
Solaris 11.3 uses Gnome, so we'd be more inclined to be ripping out such 
support rather
than adding to it.
