How embarrassing :). Here is the correct URL [1] for reference.

"interface" would in this case refer to the API of the code and not the 
GUI of an application.

Well, currently there is no support for OS X so if that's a requirement 
then DWT will obviously not work. Personally I would not create an 
application for OS X at all if it did not have a native GUI.

A couple of years ago I started on an OS X port [2], but I've abandoned 
that in favor of automating the porting process [3]. The automated 
process is intended to work for all platforms.

If the OS X port was complete, the advantage over GtkD would be that it 
would be native.
