SWT build dependency

.. the reply in private was an accident.  Thanks for forwarding back to 
the list.

I'm not against contributing the code to Eclipse.org and having it in 
SWT, just like the Swing bridge.  There are a few arguments against 
this.  The code uses objects and frameworks that are not yet open 
source.  It is easier to keep the code up to date when FX changes and 
ensure that interop works from day one when FX ships rather than 
aligning with an Eclipse release.
