No, too much code for what the base needs.
For windowing you want it just above what the OS does in a cross 
platform abstracted way.

So no controls support or any other gruff that a GUI toolkit provides.

No, it already has its core code. By in large what you want to innovate 
is the core code, not what a specific control does.

I'm not saying dlangui is the wrong way to go. We just don't know which 
way is right just yet and that is ok.
