I'm not sure but it looks like FLTK(on sourceforge) is trying to follow this way. IMHO it would be better to start from existing library, at least from its core. This can avoid design problems related to multiple platforms support. According to FLTK description, it is very efficient in speed & code size. Here is description for future version: "FLTK 2.0 will utilize many more C++ features including exceptions, namespaces, and templates. The use of exceptions and templates will be optional. In addition, FLTK 2.0 will provide enhanced device, rendering, and style interfaces to support more platforms, printing, and application "skins".
