My thought would be make a small "tangophob" library inside of dwt that 
implements the necessary functionality. (Somehow that name just seems 
way too appropriate :-))

Here's the current list of tango imports from a recent svn version of 
dwt-win:

import tango.core.Array;
import tango.core.Exception;
import tango.core.Thread;
import tango.core.Tuple;
import tango.core.sync.Condition;
import tango.core.sync.Mutex;
import tango.io.Console;
import tango.io.File;
import tango.io.FileConduit;
import tango.io.FileConst;
import tango.io.FilePath;
import tango.io.FileSystem;
import tango.io.Stdout;
import tango.io.TempFile;
import tango.io.model.IConduit;
import tango.io.protocol.Reader;
import tango.stdc.stdlib;
import tango.stdc.string;
import tango.stdc.stringz;
import tango.sys.Common;
import tango.sys.Process;
import tango.sys.SharedLib;
import tango.sys.win32.CodePage;
import tango.text.Text;
import tango.text.Unicode;
import tango.text.Util;
import tango.text.convert.Float;
import tango.text.convert.Format;
import tango.text.convert.Integer;
import tango.text.convert.Utf;
import tango.time.Clock;
import tango.util.Convert;
import tango.util.log.Trace;

It does look like it would a fair amount of work, even considering that 
only a few functions are used from some of those modules.
