gnustep on windows

[Paul Fox]

Currently, I am, for various reasons, tied to Windows for most of the 
time. I also think GNUstep looks as if it would make a good 
cross-platform development library (more elegant than QT, and without 
all the restrictions.)  However, in the course of examining and 
attempting to build GNUstep for Windows, I've discovered that  Cairo 
graphics for GNUstep under Windows are unimplemented. I'm interested in 
correcting that, and, from a cursory glance, it doesn't look 
tremendously difficult, but I haven't spent a lot of time yet tracking 
down all the bits of X dependent code, so I'm wondering if anyone knows 
how deep this dependency runs.

When I have more time (who knows when that will be!) I will take a 
deeper look and try to figure out everything that needs to be done to 
enable the Cairo backend on Windows.

On a side note, I've heard that there are plans for a theming API, but 
I've had some difficulty finding any details. Where could I find out 
about that?
