Two or three years ago I've been wandering through the effort of
ripping selected parts from the PLIB source tree and, errrm, 'merging'
these into SimGear (not only PUI).
It's been a terribly ugly hack (quick and dirty, I didn't even dare
sharing it with the public) which also required tweaks to the
FlightGear build system, it didn't see a single test on any other
platform except Linux/AMD64, but nevertheless I found it suitable to
demonstrate that this might be a pretty feasible way to get rid of the
'general' PLIB dependency.
In my eyes this _could_ lead to maintaining the required UI bits inside
SimGear and to improve them according to FlightGear's needs. On the
other hand I'm pretty confident that other toolkits would be ready to
do the same job as well.
Cheers,
Martin.
