Nana library don't uses native widgets. And it is a huge problem. Users 
will not have expected look and feel. Widgets on screenshots are awful. 
Even GTK+ and Qt applications under Windows looks much better then Nana 
applications.
Also Boost.UI has fluent interfaces for widget initialization, that is 
much simpler for developers then Nana library approach. Nana has 
unsubstantiate complex API.
