How about taking the step toward a genuine single code base, rather than 
partial consolidation as it is now?

I bet most of you have heard/known/used wxWindows:
http://www.wxwindows.org

I haven't used/examined it really, but it looks promising for 
multiplatform development. I'm planning to invest some of my time in it. 
So, what do you think?

OTOH, will OpenGL be good for anything other than 3D board layout?
