Windows and Linux (GTK) 32bit. I'm in the middle of porting the Mac OS X 
version. These are the platforms that SWT supports:

Windows 32/64bit
Windows CE
Linux 32/64bit and PPC64
Solaris 10 x86 and Sparc
HPUX IA64_32
AIX PPC/64
Mac OS X 32/64bit

Graphics systems used:
Windows - win32
Posix - GTK2
Mac OS X - Cocoa

I would be willing to take on this task, but it's not a priority I have 
right now. If anyone else wants to do it I have no problems with that.

It would probably be best if at least three people did the integration, 
,one for windows, one for linux and one for osx, and work close together 
for any non-platform specific code. I'm using Mac OS X as my main 
system. BTW, the Mac OS X specific code could really benefit from Michel 
Fortin's Objective-C fork of DMD.
