Not only that - with your own small bindings to just the functions that you need, you might find it easier to re-bind to native Windows API if the needed functionality can be reasonably mapped. With Florist you would need to stack the bindings one on top of another, which unnecessarily complicates things.
With this in mind, try to anticipate this need for portability early on and make sure that you do not commit to the interface that would make such transition unnecessarily difficult.
