*** I'd like to atleast start with windows for more than one reason. Yes, 
I'm running windows so i'd like to see it on windows :-).  I also think that 
there's a big windows user base that might be waiting for just that kind of 
binding to exist.  To me, being I'm on windows, other platforms are 
secondary, but with the growth of the linux popularity, I think it's 
starting to become a platform that cannot be neglected.

***  I would consider multi platform fine as far as it's concidered in the 
development effort (as in keep low level access in seperate packages so it's 
easy to switch from one platform to the other) but to me anyways it's not 
really a must per se, definitaly not at the start.

For a good name, well if we already know that it will be for windows, 
gtkada, macOS then any name would do.  GWindows is how I know GWindows by 
but indeed it can change.  GUI-Windows as in "The Graphical User Interface 
for _________________ <-- Insert Operating System here.).  GUI - PlaformName
