Then create a pluggable bridging mechanism so that you "install" a Platform, where AWT will be the first deliverable. I expect I can have this ready before end of this year. At that point, you have "Pivot AWT" pretty much same as Pivot is today. And I don't expect there to be 2 versions, but a single version that can run on multiple host systems.
