XWT now requires gcj 3.3 prerelease

I've checked in some changes to XWT and pushed a new build (0260).

Important: XWT now *requires* gcj 3.3 (CVS as of 11-Oct-2002 or later)
in order to produce working native builds.  Using a prior version will
result in broken/nonfunctional executables.

GCJ 3.3 has finally fixed a bug in java.util.zip, so XWT no longer has
to include jazzlib (xwt/src/jazz is gone).  This means smaller
binaries and faster xwar unpacking (since the decompression routines
now use zlib).

Also, my patch for hash synchronization for Win32 will be committed to
the gcj source tree in a few days; this reduces the size of every Java
object by four bytes, which should have a big impact on XWT's memory
footprint.  I'm using a patched gcj to produce builds, so the binaries
on xwt.org already include this feature.  The Linux version has always
had this feature.
