Oddly, I don't have any direct experience with FLTK even though I've
known about it for years. The projects I get involved with usually
need a lot more native UI integration, so FLTK is never on the list.
And I personally prefer native UI experience.  But for something small
like the CMake GUI, it wouldn't bother me as much. That said, it
sounds like this is not a rewrite, so I guess the conversation is
moot.

Thanks,
