Re: [evlan-devel] Windowing

[Kenton V. <tem...@ga...>]

Well, this is all way out in the future, and more of a technical detail 
compared to the things I'm working on now.  I imagine Evlan will have its 
own GUI library of some sort, and this library will be 
platform-independent.  Whether it will wrap existing C/C++-based widget 
sets or draw its own I do not know yet.

Similar things can be said regarding 3D and sound.  Evlan will provide some 
sort of cross-platform interface for these things, but the details are a 
long way away.
