 Is win32gui ever seriously going to target anything other than Windows?

SmartWindows looks like it follows the Windows API slavishly

Ultima++ has little or no documentation unfortunately VCF certainly looks quite 
interesting and  I hope to look further at it, though they seem from an initial 
glance to be duplicating a lot of functionality  eg streams, strings and their 
own date-time library. Nevertheless it looks like it is seriously trying to be 
cross-platform and so it looks the most promising one to me. OTOH I also find 
the workings of the Java GUI libraries interesting.
