      The new native drawing support in the Kestrel (1.3) release
      is a welcome addition and will likely see use in the market.

      This feature works as advertised, however there is an
      area of difficulty that the programmer has in coding
      the native side of the component. The problem has to do with
      management of allocation of various native resources. The
      AWT implementation already has methods in its native implementation
      to manage these resources, but access to those methods is not
      available to one programming to the JAWT interface. This means,
      then, that the programmer must separately manage allocation of
      those same resources.

      The project proposal is to extend the native JAWT structures to
      have additional methods. The extension must be on a per platform
      basis since both the specific resources to coordinate, and the
      data types to use, are unique to each platform.
