I don't think that any gui library belongs in phobos because there's 
essentially no agreement about what cross-platform library is standard.  
Pick any random 10 gui developers about what library they used (assuming 
they do anything cross-platform) and you'll get more than 1 answer.  I'd 
be shocked if you get a clear enough majority to suggest 1 that'd make a 
big set of people happy.

Sorry, the gui library landscape just doesn't approach being obvious 
enough to be in the standard library.

My 2 cents,
Brad
