What do you mean by 'entry point' ? The example is
a conventional C++ 'main' source file with function.
What is missing ?

Well, actually, it doesn't compile for me because of two
bugs: It should include <Fresco/ToolKit.hh>, and the
ClientContextImpl constructor takes actually a 'const char *',
not a unistring. I'll fix the tutorial for the first issue,
the second, I guess, should be fixed in the source, i.e.
ClientContextImpl should indeed be constructed with a
unistring. Neil, what do you think ?

no, the vintage stuff is based on a completely distinct
code base. It's the architecture and high level design
that both have in common.
