Fast Light Toolkit. Sounds about right. Thank you.

A Mr Adrian Philip Look wrote to recommend http://www.wxwindows.org. He
offered to answer questions, and pointed me towards the wxwindows newsgroup.

I've considered VCF. It is an ambitious project. I don't think it is quite
right for this port.

Using a toolkit, for now, may make development faster.  In the end, if the
controls are few and simple, I might move towards programming directly to the
GDI for the sake of performance. Since KHTML already runS on Mac and Unix, and
extra portability layer will be unecessary.
