Which additional stuff would one have to install on an e.g. off-the-shelf SuSE Linux distribution or Win2k to use your SOE version? If the answer is not "none", then there is a good point in making HGL work on plain X11 *and* Win32. :-)
Gtk+ comes with all linux distros and Solaris and *BSD. There is a seperate installer for Gtk+ on Windows. The HGL, X11 and Win32 packages are currently bundled with GHC so they have one up there in terms of ease of installation. In the future if/when GHC unbundles some of the extra packages then installing Gtk2Hs would be the same as installing X11+HGL. And on Windows I'm looking into including Gtk+ with the Gtk2Hs installer rather than as a seperate download, so it'd be the same as installing HGL. Duncan
