Hi,

First, I'd like to say thank you to Minimo's devteam!
A project like Minimo has been awaiting for long time.

Simple question: If the source code of mozilla (and minimo) is modular
and - as I understand - UI part is separated from the logic why not to 
use one of Microsoft's UI framework wrapping Win32 API and simplifying 
its usage? I have one such in mind. It is called Windows Template 
Library wich is published on Common Public License
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/wtl/).

It provides ATL-based templatized framework wrapping Win32 API to build 
robust and small binaries.
It is a very very thin layer just above the API.
I use it programming applications for desktop Windows OSs
and for Window CE based OSs like Pocket PC, Smartphone etc.

What do you think?
