I want to clear some small bits before I release the new version. In
particular, I want to make CPAN and metaCPAN Prima man pages to include images

Now for the completely off-topic. Due to Prima widgets being implemented
competely in Perl, it would be relatively easy to develop a widget such that it
works everywhere, but also it means that it would be rather hard to make Prima
look native on windows.
