FLTK native in 'D'. Would that be useful?

Thanks. I am still using 0.18. I will probably be able to upgrade tonight.

True. The internal messaging in FLTK is yet to be implemented. No OS 
dependent code though, makes porting easy and quick.

Yes, the OS X code is anything but nice. It was already a pretty brute 
force port from MacOS8 (!). As soon as the FLTK code itself is ported 
(1:1 right now), I will start improving the OS X implementation.

Good point.

Thanks. I have not spent any time whatsoever on Makefiles. Hoping that 
someone who is smarter than myself can do a Makefile that would work on 
all platforms.

Thanks for testing!
