      -----------------------------
      In the current implementation, a GraphicsEnvironment can only be loaded by the
      bootclassloader. It would be nice to be able to load a GE from the system
      classloader as well. The attached patch implements this. There's also an (old)
      Sun bug:

      I don't see any negative implications with this, but it would help me alot for
      working with Cacio or other ports of Java2D to crazy platforms. I know that I
      can put my GE in the bootclasspath, but then I also need to put my native libs
      in JDK's lib folder etc, which is quite annoying.
