I can't imagine we would be interested in a graphics library unless it
ran 
on both Windows and UNIX-like systems, and had good prospects of running
on 
the Mac and other platforms.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
I've written several of these "porting" layers for just this reason, so
if the library did address this I would be interested. 

Note that "speed" has always been the issue, so the layers must be thin.

(for Win32, directX, not the WIN32 API, is the layer of choice for
games.)
