Yes, of course. Anyways, if hui is working fine, why scrap it? ;) I
don't think there's a port of dldialog anyways. I'm probably going to
make one to test it anyways.

Probably not, but the whole thing is written in C++, and there is a
tcl-like language interface to create the dialogs.

It's probably not preferable to our tcl language interface, but the
way I saw it, we should integrate the C++ classes to our API and
create a .cd.cc interface to the classes. We probably don't have to
use the dldialog language interface.

I think it's actually better or comparable. There are 2 snapshots on
the page that represent basically all of Hui's functionalities.

I think the main advantage is that we have more people working on the
code. This is helpful to fix bugs and could even create interest in
libh. ;)

I think one other interesting thing is that it forces us to seperate
libh's libraries from one another, thing which is not obvious right
now.
