I also consider this very important. I mentioned in a previous message 
that we use Win_IO. It has the same goals as JEWL, but is portable 
between Linux and Windows because it is based on Gtkada. For us this is 
important, because in our labs we have Linux machines, but students 
usually have Windows at home.
