win32ui is an attempt to wrap MFC, which is itself an object oriented 
wrapper around the Windows GUI API (ie, a "window" is an object, and has 
methods).  win32gui is a lower-level interface to the raw API (ie, a 
window is represented by an integer handle, and all functions are global)

Naming things has never been my strong point, especially given the 
benefit of hindsight <wink>
