> How much trouble would it be to port Pan to Android?

While I don't have a cellphone or other android device of any sort so 
must remain rather vague in that regard, the big question in terms of pan 
ports is whether gtk is available on the platform.  If so, pan porting is 
feasible; if not, it isn't, since pan is built on top of gtk+ (either 2.x 
or 3.x).

That's how pan came to be available on MS Windows for instance.  Once
gtk+ was there, porting pan was doable, and someone with the necessary 
skills had the necessary motivation and time, so it came to pass.  (Pan 
on OSX of course uses its X compatibility layers and existing gtk+ ports 
as well.)

But AFAIK, no one has done anything toward adapting the interface to 
touch-based either, altho again, since pan uses gtk widgets, once there's 
a gtk base for it, pan porting shouldn't be /too/ difficult.

But I've absolutely /no/ idea if gtk has been ported or whether people 
are working on it and what the status is, or not...
