I usually use the FLTK toolkit on my Desktop PC and embedded Devices
where I don't want to build and install Qt due to limited disk space and
RAM requirements. So I would vote to not deprecate FLTK yet.

If you have such tasks in the feature, I would be glad to help here
since I'm fairly deeps into FLTK development.

Perhaps we can move the FLTK toolkit out of core to a octave-forge
package (after deprecation) as a compromise?
