[e-lang] Found the SWT/OS X/Leopard problem

[Kevin Reid]

(For those that don't know, E+SWT+Mac OS X stopped working even as  
well as it had with the introduction of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.)

I have found a solution to the problem.

If the main thread, that is the one which public static void  
main(String[] args) is executed in, does not exit, then SWT  
applications work.

This is not too surprising considering that SWT also requires - 
XstartOnMainThread - which JVM option makes the JVM execute main() on  
the thread that is initially created by the OS.

I suspect, even though keeping that thread around is *sufficient*,  
that the *correct* solution is to use that special thread as the  
SWTRunner's thread.

I will attempt to modify the SWTRunner to implement this when I have  
time.
