cq Xlib vs. the various Widget toolboxes
My GUI needs were very limited : This is the main reason I could get away not using a
toolkit.
check on ftp://jdreesen.dyndns.org/ftp for some screenshots of the emulator.
Codesize for the GUI section is around 100 lines of C, time to implemement probably less
than would be needed to master a widget set.
And yes, I liked the idea of trying to limit myself to Xlib.
Anyhow the interesting part should be the Lilith emulation itself,
and writing documentation and preparing diskimages will be enough work.
But, yes, if I ever port this to C++ I will go for WxWidgets.
