is there any plan to support the new WinRT coming with Windows 8 ?

WinRT is implemented as a native library which resembles an enhanced
COM. So one should be able one way or another to implement a binding
for it. Until someone

I am curious as to how exactly it will work. For example: Does it
support overlapping windows or only full screen ones like a mobile
platform?
And how do DirectX applications work there? Also via a DLL together
with WinRT or can one make a native executable with DirectX?

The implementation of calling conventions is up to the code generator as
well. You can invent your own conventions, and map them to any
predefined one. As a starting point it's sufficient to support
