Anything is posible. I have only been looking at it for to days but I am
alot more positive about the port now than when I started. With the fbdev
port already on top of an XMI layer that will bring me to just windowing
and porting the events to gii.

Escpecialy since it is already there :) The question I have about the
windowing is if it is generic enough to work with all the visuals. If it
is we could try and use peices of it in conjunction with libgwt.
ps what exacly is libwmh?
