Thanks, looks like a great piece of work, and I always envy your 
documentation webpages. Are they automatically generated from source?

I wonder how much overhead (in terms of noticeable CPU use or user perceived 
lag) would an abstract Ada intermediate layer would add to this kind of 
library, in order to make the backend switchable. I have done so for my 
(very limited) presentation needs, so in my case it is not an issue, but 
when I see such a nice widget library I wonder if it could be made usable 
not only with GTK (even if with some sacrifices).
