I am very late on libgwt development. The version in CVS is
from this summer.
Since that time, I did a lot of work on the OpenAmulet
GUI library... Some of this work was related to
libgwt (from a user point of view ;-) - but unfortunately
it was misguided.
[Misguided in the sense that I know now that what I
implemented on my home computer is bad. I believe I
know the right way now - but it is not implemented.]
I will try to find the time to implement the last piece
of libgwt. When it will be done, I think everyone will
understand the philosophy and should be able to propose
improvements. But until then, I think libgwt objectives
are not easy to spot from the sources only,
unfortunately...
Basically, some wrapper functions around the GII event
functions are missing. So, it may not take
too much time - but it is delicate to define the good
API.
I am not in a position to give any expected
deadline (too much real work to do :-().
But I do not forget this issue!
