Hi all,

let me add my $ 0.02 here.

I do NOT share your hard feelings towards the proposal.

Without knowing enough of the IUP internals to judge how hard it would be 
to actually implement it, I had the impression that the proposal was well 
thought out and would broaden the applicability of IUP. And at least IMHO 
it looks as if there is little actual damage done.

I myself learned already before to work AROUND the limitation of IUP 
expecting to assume control of the event loop of the application. And that 
is for a pure C+Linux application (which assumes to mostly sit in poll(2) 
and revolves around invoking callbacks when data is available). I wonder 
how many people ran into those issues too.

Furthermore I'd also welcome IUP support for iOS or Android. Though I'd 
agree with Andrew: if that came at the cost of becoming a non-maintainable 
bloatware, I'd rather choose the path of simplicity.

Best
