Hi, as the "project coordinator" of the OpenAmulet (OA) project (which
unfortunately is dormant at the moment) I looked into the SDL stuff. These two
address different goals. SDL is AFAIR for low-level graphics stuff, where as OA
is for high-level stuff. The key-feature of OA is the use of constraints to
build GUIs, it uses a concept like Excel to find out the evaluation order of all
those constraints. I would be happy to see this concept in /View. I hadn't time
yet to experiment with the idea so... Robert
