Sun's work usually relies upon knowing what particular package
protected data members represent and how they are manipulated. So far
I've found documentation on those lacking. The implementation should
be API and serializable similar, but beyond that I couldn't guarantee
'drop-in' type qualities.

No one is just yet. I'm exploring the waters a bit by attempting to
write a GTK/Gnome PLAF.
