Erhm ... where did you read this? I have read the description at
http://www.fltk.org/about.html just a few minutes before. Perhaps it
is my non-knowledge about English, but I have understand, that FLTK
was originally developped for in-house products of Mr. Spitzak's
employer. But then, as politics changed, they have decided not to use
FLTK any longer.

So it was not leftover from an abandoned project. But the new boss of
Mr. Spitzak has simply decided not to use it anymore. It was already
used successful in some projects.

Perhaps that was, what you have meant. If so, then sorry for the
confusion my bad English skills have brought to you.

Why not? But OTOH, I do not think, that Ruby have to include any GUI
at all. It is somewhat bothersome for newbies to get all they want if
it was split, but it would make distribution much easier, IMHO.

I would not add any GUI to Ruby. But in the download section I would
group Ruby distribution together with some GUI extensions and links to
the GUI libs as well. So the user could decide on the first glance,
what GUI to take. He could fetch all necessary files then, because all
links are available on the right place.
