        There should probably be some official statement about fltk2
        at this point.

        Being a 1.x guy, it's hard for me to say what the deal is with 2,
        it's almost a separate culture; there's no possibility of crossover
        between the two; you either go with one API or the other, you can't
        really do both.

        I think it was in the plan to have compatibility hooks in fltk2
        so that older 1.x code could still use fltk2, but I think that
        fell apart because it was too restricting on development
        and was imperfect, since internally the designs are so different.
