The design aims of gtk2hs and HToolkit are different.
The gtk2hs is a binding to GTK+ and requires GTK+
libraries under both Windows and Linux, whereas the
HToolkit uses Win32 API under Windows and GTK under
Linux.

Yes, I meant using code from gtk2hs for the gtk part of
port.  Since there seem to be 3 pieces (port, HToolkit and
gio), I am not so clear on who is taking care of which, and
the design differences between HToolkit and gio?

Hi Jens,

Port is designed to be the lowest core-functionality library. It 
is just thin Haskell veneer on top of the C libraries. HToolkit
and GIO are built upon that.  HToolkit is the original library that
goes with Port and is maintained and designed by Krasimir,
and he can tell you more about its future.
GIO is my little project and tries to build a Yahu (TkGofer)
like interface on top of Port. 

Even though GIO is fairly complete now, I do not have direct 
plans to maintain it -- at the moment it is more of an experiment
for me (I am trying to do the same thing with wxWindows instead
of Port).
