hg: macosx-port/macosx-port/jdk: Fixing Toolkit selection issues at startup, auto-selecting headless when not in graphical session, auto-selecting XToolkit when /tmp/launch-8hl5J4/org.x:0 is set, installing eAWT app delegates to catch extended Mac app events, added default menu bar support, adding gesture support, adding GCD dispatch support, adding eIO filesystem support, moving LaF native code into osxui library along with other eAWT code, other misc cleanup and debug simplification.

[Mike Swingler]

The GCD support is already API in Java SE 6:
<http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Java/Reference/JavaSE6_AppleExtensionsRef/api/com/apple/concurrent/Dispatch.html>

This check-in brings OpenJDK up to parity with the eAWT, eIO, and Dispatch Apple extensions.

As for proposing an SPI for adding executors, I hadn't really thought that far - it would be a good topic for discussion (do other OS's only have one native thread implementations? is the existing API robust enough for cooperative/work-stealing implementations? etc).
