Also, wxWindows is a huge library.  If we were to introduce something in 
boost, I'd very much like it to be as small and light weight (as 
win32gui is supposed to be), not a collection of multi-megabyte dlls 
required, just to wrap win32 or what ever the underlying library is.

If people want more powerful components, they can be added afterwards, 
but the underlying library around core OS controls should be as small as 
possible.

Thanks
