The X/Escher peers for inclusion in Classpath.

After some email exchange with Mark I think it would be best to handle

Trying out the peers:
Escher needs to be in the bootclasspath. The current JAR can be found
here (older versions won't work):

http://kennke.org/~roman/escher-0.2.3-pre.jar

the dependency on Escher just as we handle other dependecies on external libs (GTK, Qt). The only problem beeing this lib is Java, and I have no --with-escher-jar=/path/to/escher.jar option would be a start. Also, we need to exclude the X peer classes from build when no such jar is found.

Oh, and also, why can't we include the Escher source in external/? It sounds to me like it needs to be forked anyway (especially if it's going to get Xauthority handling, which it definitely needs). Is the author even working on it any more?
