    There has been a lot of fuss on the Boost dev lists about a
    Boost GUI. John Torjo is looking to go multi-platform with this
    win32 generics library. I'm to understand that wxWidgets is
    gearing up for a major revision.
    
    Look on the Boost list for "Shoulders of Giants" to find a list
    of existing UI libraries.

    I've been studying SWT myself for inspiration, insight into
    cross-platform UI development. It strkes me as having the latest
    thinking.
