[Coco] DriveWire in Java

[Aaron Wolfe]

I have uploaded Linux and Mac OS X versions to
http://aaronwolfe.com/coco/dwserver

These are not as tested as the Windows version, but I have booted
NitrOS-9 using both of them.  The GUI definitely doesn't look as nice
as on the Windows version, but I've found there are differences even
running on Win XP vs Windows 7. It looks like I'm going to have to
learn more about relative component alignments and avoid any absolute
positioning.
