Hi Victor,

John and I have been working on this together and it's almost complete
so no need to spend your time on it I think.

As for the GUI interfaces, I think finding a solution that implements
the UI outside of the Csound main performance thread as the API users
are doing seems to be ideal for performance.  I suggested a while back
having a callback settable by the Host that opcodes could call for UI
building.  If we did something like that, the host could interpret the
requests and construct the UI in any way, and the opcode could create
a uniquely named channel on the software bus to communicate over.

The problem with using different toolkits however is that each one
renders things differently.  That might work if we were using layout
managers but thus far everything has been positioned with absolute
values.  So a slider bank on one toolkit will need a different size,
default button sizes will be different, etc.  What looks good on one
toolkit may not look good on another.  It's one of the few nice things
about using something like FLTK that renders the same on all
platforms.
