I like the above idea, but it is quite a lot of work, almost like writing
another wxWidgets or SWT.
Personally I like clisp, but it is not palatable to lot of people. So, people
will clamor for something which is portable, hopefully cffi will come to
rescue.
Berlin Brown was doing some work on this, and then he quit.

I will suggest using a hybrid something which is combination of wxCL as well
as something which is directly pure lisp interface to underlying system
API's. This will have the advantage of it being usable and functional as
well as trying to be independent of wxWidgets.
