I guess you are referring to a real native port with Windows look an
feel? Great but ...

I wonder how much work it would be to port it using a local X
emulation package. (If that is the right name for it. I know of at
least one X-server product that allows clients to run locally. I even
tried this once but the X-server product available to me at that
moment was to old for my C-compiler so I gave up.)

Naively it would be very simple given that the X-server software is up
to date. Am I missing something?
