We could probably list dozens of sub-items that might be of interest. I have only a few minutes now, but I'd like to say what I think is the most important message, namely that doing such a thing is 1. A very big project and 2. A project that has the potential to do more harm than good. 3. There may be better alternatives, or not. Point 1 should be obvious to any programmer. Just picking a reasonable widget set could easily become a full-time job. Point 2 is debatable. I'm not asserting that it is true, but I would be surprised if it weren't true. Again, this is a huge question. I would suggest that people think carefully of the consequences.
