I'd rather see an effort to make MrProject run under Windows without
porting it to another toolkit. We don't use a lot of GNOME-specific
code, and with GTK+ 2.4 coming up with it's new nice menu system we
could get rid of the bulk of it. I've already tried using eggmenu (the
prototype for the new GTK menu system) and that worked fine. Also we
should really switch to foocanvas instead of gnomecanvas, it shouldn't
be too hard to make that work under Windows (maybe someone already
did?).

If it's done that way, we don't get duplication of effort and any
improvements to either version is directly beneficial for the other.

Regards,
Richard
