How about both approaches simultaneously? Basically it's the
3-step plan with all steps being interleaved.

So, we all agree on the API and build this as a library in CVS
HEAD with several back-ends:

(a) Native back-ends:
     - MSW
     - Mac
     - GTK2
     - etc.

(b) wx2 back-end

Plus we start a new wx2 port, wxTNG2 or similar name.

If we agree on the API, then we should be able to nibble
away at the problem in both directions. Something like
the building of the Chunnel, meeting at the middle :-)
It also gives a fun element of competition, to see which
approach bears fruit first, but neither approach will
be redundant.

Regards,

Julian
