I wrote the bulk of the Xlib code. Then Gregg Townsend and Sandy Miller
improved it. Then Darren Merrill ported it to OS/2. Then I further
separated out the platform-dependencies, and wrote the MS Windows code.
The built-in functions are native and cross-platform. The higher level
GUI toolkits are Icon-specific and cross-platform.

I guess it would not be easy, but I'd be glad if you proved me wrong. :-)
