Soon a NEWT/AWT layer will be stable, allowing you to have a
native NEWT window acting as a child window of it's AWT Canvas native peer.

This 'adventurous' solution allows you to free yourself from the
AWT multithreading constraints (using awtLock, run on AWT-EDT, ..),
hence you can run your GL animation smoothly while doing other things
including AWT input.
