Re: [Ltib] Build results for 20100408

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Kevin,

I remember looking into microwindows a while back and coming to the
conclusion that it was going to be tough to get to work with newer cross
toolchains.  Unfortunately I can't remember all the details, but I was
coming to the conclusion that microwindows was not really being
maintained and was not really viable any more.

The question what should replace it (if anything).  Is it worth keeping
or should people just use X and additional packages (clutter etc)?

Regards, Stuart
