  Historically: 

    * the reason for using C++ (partly) in Dillo was FLTK
      (to be able to use its C++ API).
    * Sebastian and I worked independently (Dw/rest respectively)
      and ended with two libs.
    * This approach allowed for Dw and Dlib to be standalone.
      (thus helping Sebastian with other Dw projects and me/others to
       reuse Dlib in other pure C projects). Which is a good thing!

  One way to keep the advanges is to base lout on dlib. Mixing C/C++
for lout; this may be uglier/less-convenient than current status quo,
so it would be a trade off.

  OTOH basing dlib on lout would force using C++ in pure C programs. :-P
