Does this need anything more than the peer interfaces already in
java.awt.peer?  Those aren't really well-defined, but we can define
them as need be.

The approach I've been taking on those occasions when I do AWT hacking
is to simply assume that we won't try to be compatible with Sun's AWT
peers.  So I just change the peer code to suit the needs I perceive.
