So, I've been thinking about the GUI situation with Go and I'm seeing a lot 
of interesting projects coming up lately. However, none of these really 
satisfy my needs. All of these projects are suitable for larger graphical 
applications, but what I want is a dead simple, dependency- and (L)GPL-free 
package that lets users make dialog boxes with some widgets, such as 
buttons, radio buttons, text input boxes, dropdown-menus and progress bars. 

The idea is that it could be plugged into simple script-like Go programs 
that could be operated without the need for a command-line interface. Some 
use-cases may include a launcher before starting a game, settings window 
for a background process or a program that takes a file and operates on it 
with several options.

My initial plan is that on Unix, it would dynamically link to GTK3 on 
runtime (_without_ including it with the program); on Windows it would use 
the WinAPI and on Mac it would use the native Cocoa libraries. One problem 
of this approach is that it would require CGO on platforms other than 
Windows, though maybe this could be alleviated by supplying a binary-only 
version of this package. Are there any projects like this around?
