I would like to make the eRCP project's Mobile Extensions library work with
desktop SWT. This would allow us to run eSWT applications on the desktop
side by side with SWT apps.
Would SWT developers entertain making several internal methods public to
allow custom widgets to be created in packages outside of org.eclipse.swt?

Specifically, the following methods are needed:
internal_SendEvent(), internal_RemoveChild()

isInvalidClass()

callWindowProc() in widget.java (very important in order to mesh with
windows native event handling)

and field: internal_Handle
