Is there anything specific to Linux in that
DWT variant, or would it work on other Unix ?

For instance FreeBSD and Mac OS X have support
for running GTK+ on either X11 or even Aqua...

SWT has these variants:
 1.) win32-win32-x86         => dwt-win
 2.) wpf-win32-x86
 3.) win32-wce_ppc-arm-j2se
 4.) win32-wce_ppc-arm-j2me
 5.) gtk-linux-x86           => dwt-linux
 6.) gtk-linux-x86_64
 7.) gtk-linux-ppc
 8.) motif-linux-x86
 9.) gtk-solaris-sparc
10.) motif-solaris-sparc
11.) photon-qnx-x86
12.) motif-aix-ppc
13.) carbon-macosx

So, the project names could have been choosen more precisely like dwt-win32-win32-x86 and dwt-linux-gtk-x86. But I found this a bit too explicit. Perhaps, if we decide to also do a WPF or 64 bit port, we have to rethink the project names.

If you could use the dwt-linux for anything different from Linux, i don't know.

I see, just my ignorance about available SWT versions then. :-)

And if you do decide to support 64-bit, that could probably fit
within the existing projects (even if needing different binaries)

While FreeBSD can run the Linux binaries, it doesn't help the Mac.
Then again the GTK+ port does look a bit "alien" on it anyway...
