Sounds good, just making sure you know: FLTK comes with "fluid"
which is a "widget layout manager", good for laying out dialogs and
even somewhat complex window/widget layouts, though maybe a bit limited
for what people expect from a full on "IDE".

For instance, fluid doesn't manage multi-platform makefile dependencies;
it assumes you either make this by hand in gmake or cmake.. fluid simply
provides for a way to run a build command of your own making.

So I guess just be aware of what fluid does already; lets you layout
buttons/input fields/tiling/auto-packing forms/etc, attach and edit
source code for the widgets, create classes and use them, etc.
