It seems it was dropped.
The driver was still available in version 1.4.x based on the dwg
direct library:
http://svn.osgeo.org/gdal/branches/1.4/gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/dxfdwg/

but since the 1.5.x branch it's no more there:
http://svn.osgeo.org/gdal/branches/1.5/gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/
http://svn.osgeo.org/gdal/trunk/gdal/ogr/ogrsf_frmts/

Then go ahead and add the new output format to the community section,
and thanks a lot for contributing it :)
