IMHO, a safer approach  would be to let Fl_Browser untouched concerning API 
backward compatibility.
It may cost us a major rewrite of new tree browser API ;  but we will benefit 
of much less regression bugs, much more flexibility and freedom for new tree 
api specification that would be more independent from the Fl_Browser code.
I like the flu approach and functionalities but frankly, I would not like to 
embark such code in fltk (just review the flu internals!).
We should write it from scratch but based on a solid _minimum_ yet complete 
specification.

My 2 cents,
Fabien.
