If we want to continue supporting the other toolkits, I think the only
viable option is making the current x/windows/macos code much more abstract
and hidden behind a fairly well-defined and generic interface (the "Merging
x*, w32* and mac* sources" thread). Then GTK could just be another 'port'
like the w32 code.
And maybe eventually we could drop support for the others, a few versions
down the road.
