Well, you say 'most'.  Is this, say, 70% or 90% suitability in your
opinion?  If it's the former, how much additional code must be added
to fit the needs?  There might be a point that you have to add so much
code that it might be easier to avoid the library altogether.

Please note that I'm only looking at the problem from different points
of view.  If you say 'dlg' is the right choice to proceed, then by all
means let's do it :-)
