GUI library for D

[Matthias Pleh]

was: [GSoC] Container proposals by Ishan and Christian

To preventing losing this thread, I have created a new one ...
Additional, I've added a license column on the GuiLibraries-table on the 
wiki.

So, let me summarize my thoughts, why I think a good Gui library is 
important for the D community.
I'm working for an enginge builder company. Our product is mainly 
mechanical, but also has a software part, which is created and 
maintained by a 16 (and growing) man team. Our softwareproduct is mainly 
server-side and timecritical, written in C++/MFC and very old. We've 
decided to create it new from scratch. As a member of the design team of 
this new project I've tried to inturoduce D for this. But it was 
impossible to assure the others. The main counter-argument was the lack 
of a good D-Gui library, though the main part is serverside, but the 
client-side GUI have to be written in the same language.

This were the requirments for the GUI library:
- Corss-platform (Win/linux)
- not just a port, but adjusted to the language
- mostly written in this language, so you can easy debug the lib,
   this means no wrapper library, just system libraries
   (Though gtk+ on linux would hold as a system library so GtkD for 
linux would be OK, but not on Windows!
- obviously suitable license for a commercial product

Unfortunately All known GUI-libraries for D fails on this requirments
So the choice has fallen to C++/Qt

I would like to fill this gap and create a really good D GUI library

Any thoughts, comments ... ?
