have you considered wxwidgets? for windows it compiles with g++ (mingw-w64) now
and also with MSVC++. and I should think it also supports other platform
targets. hope this helps.

Yes, there was discussion of this in #xiphos a week or so ago, though with
regard to Ubuntu.
The WK2 configuration builds, runs without crashing...and looks like total
crap. I don't know what they did to it in the last year but basic operations
that have been in place for something like 10 years now render a main window
that is crippled. Chris Bayliss says it's not WK2 itself but our packing of
GTK widgets -- I dunno, it seems to me that Everything Worked Just Fine for an
indecently long time, considering that even today it looks right and works
correctly with plain old WK, but now the upgrade treadmill has us looking yet
again at a toolkit change. Considering the differences required for WK2 over
WK, WK2 becomes the 6th display toolkit used by GnomeSword/Xiphos in 15 years.
This gets old.
Yes, it will have to be dealt with. Comedy is not pretty. A related problem
is that the editor component was not ported to WK2 because at the time Chris
couldn't find adequate documentation of its API, as to its differences from
original WK. That is, at the moment, the latest-hotness WK2 build still uses
the GTKHTML editor. Incongruous, I know. Funny, perhaps, but oddly enough it
works. Er, worked until WK2 went off the deep end.
(Why does WK2 have any API differences from WK? What benefit is reaped from
gratuitously ripping up an interface? Why could not the internal
re-implementation still present an identical application-facing interface? --
Eh, don't answer that, I already know.)

I have a politically incorrect yet tractable plan for how to deal with Win32.
