Fwd: Result: New Group: Client Libraries; Dissolved Groups: AWT, 2D, Swing, & Sound

[Kevin Rushforth]

No. The new Client group is the long-planned consolidation of 
2D/AWT/Swing (with Sound thrown in for good measure), mainly to get rid 
of the multiple mailing lists with frequent cross-posting. Phil can add 
more if he want to.
