Hello,
Maybe instead of trying to keep ObjectIO up-to-date, we should instead create
a Clean interface for wxWindows. By using the same toolkit for Windows,
MacOS, and Linux, it would be much easier to keep all platforms up-to-date.
[from www.wxwindows.com]
wxWindows is a class library that allows you to compile graphical C++
programs on a range of different platforms. wxWindows defines a common API
across platforms, but uses the native graphical user interface (GUI) on each
platform, so your program will take on the native 'look and feel' that users
are familiar with.
here is a screen shot of wxWindows:

wxWindows is under the LGPL license. This means that Commerial Clean
developers could use the wxWindows in closed source apps. They would only
have to give back changes they made to the wxWindows library itself.
Qt might be another choice, but its license is not nearly as friendly.
