DWT partially updated to dmd 0.177

[bls]

Hi Bobef,
Frank Benoit aka keinfarbton is working on a tool TIOPORT to automatically
translate Java into D.
Java to XML, XML to D AST, AST to  D.
AFAIK he made a lot of progress in porting SWT/GTK using this tool.
Biggest problem at the moment seems to be Java reflection BUT thanks to the
new ABI Thomas Kuehne is quit optimistic to solve outstanding problems.

I hope I am able to help with the JFace port. since I do not like naked SWT.
Bjoern
