Actually, we should all do our best to get 1.3.0 into the world. It's a great 
piece of software!

My FLTK3 approach has proven to work, that's great, really great! But the 
actual conversion has to be (at least semi-) automatic. What I will probably do 
is port essential FLTK2 features slowly over to FLKT 1.3, create a wrapper for 
testing for FLTK 2 to FLTK 1.3, and then translate FLTK 1.3 (and the wrapper) 
automatically into FLTK 3. It's merely a (huge) search and replace job. We have 
plenty of time before that to discuss the final naming of namespaces, classes, 
and functions.

Little extra advantage: the automatic translation program should work just as 
well on other existing source code ;-) .
