Would it be possible to do it with wx? There would be a much larger potential developer pool, since it's cross-platform. (Not getting away from C libraries, but they're stable). > And just to say it one more time, I can use all the help I can get. > There are a lot of yaks to be shaved.

Count me as onboard; I'm just not sure which ship I'm on yet.
