[Navit-users] [RFC] Hildon/Maemo gui

[Matt C. <mc-...@te...>]

I've been looking into adding a new hildon gui to Navit, for the Nokia N770.
I found these patches on the web:
http://www.gnunux.info/projets/navit/ , but this is not very current
and I doubt if they would apply to the current CVS tree. Still, they
got me thinking.
I've done some initial hacking: creating a new gui module, changing
autoconf etc and I've got it working to a degree (it's not that
difficult, since it's pretty much gtk anyway I think).
This brings me to my question: Should this be a separate gui, or
should I modify the gtk gui (with #ifdefs) to cater for the hildon
changes?
I can see pros/cons for both:
new gui: cleaner code, but also some replication of code between the
gtk and hildon guis. Could be harder to maintain in the future (bug
fixes may be required to both gtk and hildon guis)
modify gtk: Less duplication of code, but code could get messy with
lots of conditional compilation.

What do people think?
