That's what I mean.

While it's obvious that you can write apps for fremantle in toolkits
other than Gtk/Hildon (e.g Canola), developers will have a hard time
to make them fit in with the Fremantle UI style unless they have
reasonable replacements for the most basic widgets.

So yes, a widget library with equivalents to HildonAppMenu,
HildonPickerButton, etc., would be the way to go in my opinion.
