I don't think there's a patch around for that. If you think making AWT
optional is important please file a "request for enhancement" in
BugZilla for future reference so we can respect that in the redesign.

I think it should be relatively simple to make AWT optional. Basically
two steps are necessary:
- Modify build.xml so only the AWT-dependant classes can be compiled
  conditionally.
- Modify the classes that have AWT-dependant stuff in them so they run
  without AWT (see Jimi, JAI and JCE support as an example).

There are special AWT-backends out there for headless servers. Maybe
there's also a dummy AWT package somewhere. Just a thought.
