Were there any takers on objectifying and templatizing a "D/Tk" ?

We have "C/Tk" now, and would like to have "C++/Tk" ported over...

http://www.algonet.se/~afb/d/tkhelloworld.d ("C/Tk")
vs.
http://cpptk.sourceforge.net/examples/ex1.html ("C++/Tk")

I ported the C headers over, but I'm not very good with C++/Boost.

Tcl/Tk:

http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/TkLib/contents.htm

C++/Tk:
http://cpptk.sourceforge.net/doc.html
http://cpptk.cvs.sourceforge.net/cpptk/

This would be a good test: http://cpptk.sf.net/examples/ex6.html

PS. I think the wxWidgets toolkit has a simple API too.
     (At least it's ready to use, and has documentation)
