Hi Reinhold,

did You have a look at 'venster'?

http://venster.sourceforge.net/htdocs/index.html

They even dropped win32gui and worked with ctypes and the Win32API
reducing the C-footprint. For frameworks like Dabo, AnyGUI, PyGUI etc.
this would be the right level to create an abstraction layer IMO. By
the way the demo applications of venster run stable and fast on WinXP.
