Add: Extended support for CVM crosscompile:

    - Clean up X11 dependency
    - NativeWindow:
        - Seperate X11 out of core.
        - Add nativewindow.x11.jar and nativewindow.x11.cdc.jar
    - Newt:
        - Seperate X11,win,osx out of core.
        - Add newt.x11.jar, newt.win.jar, newt.osx.jar and the CDC variants

Fix: External Context & Drawable (X11 and Windows)
    - Properly fetch current context values (ctx, display, drawable, ..)
    - Create GraphicsConfiguration based on the given pixelformat/FBConfig

Fix: Java2D OpenGL Usage
    - Using the external context as shared for the external drawable
    - JAWTUtil: Skip locking in case of OGL-Flush-Queue
    - TODO: Windows FBO still does not work .. (X11 is fine)
