[platform-swt-dev] Starting point for new port

[David Goodenough <david.goodenough@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Now I know that there is a Qt port somewhere inside IBM for SWT, but the
legal eagles need to make their mind up as to whether it can be released
as a basis for a full Qt and KDE port, now that the java bindings for 
Qt and Kde that ship with Kde have become LGPL.

So lets for the moment assume that the IBM port can not be used, I need
to think which is the best of the existing versions to start from.  The
list as I know it is Windows, Motif, Gtk and MacOS.

The Java binding the ships with Kde closely maps the C++ API that Qt
and KDE provide as a base, because they are mechanically generated from 
them.  Windows and Motif are both C API based, but I do not know about
the Gtk and MacOS ones.

Does anyone have any perls of wisdom as to the best starting point?
