FLTK has its own UI and the demo fltk apps that I tried looked pretty
nice in the scatchbox environment. At a minimun it would really just need
a way to integrate the application icon to be usable.
Calling gtk routines from a fltk app would only increase the exe size if 
they were statically linked. 
Could someone please provide a link to the hildon code (is it available?)
so I can investigate this further. 
Thanks
Chris
