[cp-patches] FYI: rename libjawtgnu.so to libjawt.so
Hi, applications that use the AWT Native Interface refer to "libjawt.so". For binary compatibility with other AWT Native Interface implementations our .so must be named the same. Note to packagers: libjawt.so should be installed in VM-specific directory rather than directly in /usr/lib. Proprietary VMs put their libjawt.so implementations in VM-specific directories but search /usr/lib first. If GNU Classpath's libjawt.so is installed in /usr/lib it will create problems for people using a proprietary VM to run AWT Native Interface apps. I committed the attached patch.
