A+ port to WIndows FLtk

I've been working on porting A+ to Windows. When I
got to the point of needing to link against X libraries I
stalled for a while. I couldn't find nor compile X libraries
under MinGW (In my perception Cygwin.dll presents a performance
penalty.)

I recently was reminded of FLtk and am planning to use that.

I am currently considering whether to leave APLUSGUI as is and work
FLtk into MSGUI,

or

Replace MSGUI with FLtk and hack APLUSGUI to work directly with FLtk.

Do you have any recommendations on the above decision? Please supply
reasons if you have a recommendation.

Have you looked into Xming? Why do you have to compile the X
libraries yourself?

Also, if you are going to go down the Fltk route, have a look
at wxWidgets as well. I suspect it has a larger developer and
user base.
