    I was looking for something:

+ With native controls;
+ MIT or BSD-licensed;
+ Lightweight and *just* a GUI;
+ C, not C++;
+ Works in Linux & Windows, at least.

    I couldn't find anything that covered all of this, so started an
IUP[1] binding. Unfortunately, under X11, it uses OpenMotif as a
backend, but the upcoming 3.0 version will have GTK+ as well. So far,
OpenMotif works for me.
    Although the API is very small, the egg is far from finished
though, so probably this is not what you want. Otherwise, feel free to
ask more.
