Another idea would be to use wxWidgets as a backend. But CLIM is more
higher level and perhaps better for mathematic notebooks like in
Mathematica and perhaps in Axiom, but if CLIM uses wxCL (the wxWidgets Lisp
wrapper for Common Lisp, which is availalbe as an alpha version), then CLIM
would be available for Windows, Mac and Linux, too, because wxWidgets works
on these systems (and with wxEmbedded for PDAs and other small platforms).
