The toolkit is a graphics toolkit for an embedded-like linux system. I suppose to
not have XWindow: only a character screen with colors (a linux console) or, optionally,
the framebuffer graphics.
When I finished, the same app will work with differents graphics primitives,
triggering them with a switch. Example:
app -vcs (the app work on the console)
app -fb (the app work on the framebuffer)
Obiously, it is possible to implement, in the future, an X subsystem, such that
"app -X" can works, or also "app -gtk", using ad additional layer.

No, no. I'm rewriting totally everything, from scratch, with the primary scope
to learn C++ and object-oriented programming.
Not only I'm writing the entire class structure, but even the basic drivers that
talks with keyboard and mouse and generate events for the toolkit.
I'm sure, you will reamins astonished seeing my (text-only) colored windows that
fly in the screen and collides together :-)
