The Motif bit is offputting, but this looks like a very interesting
library - as you said, it's increasingly hard to find something that
is just a GUI. How did you discover it? I've never come across it
before.

I've decided to go with Qt4 for the time being (sweeping under the rug
the pending issue of getting it working on windows :)) but I'll be
watching your IUP binding with interest (sadly I'm just getting
started with scheme so I don't know enough to help out).
