A student of mine wrote a fully automatic binding generator for C++ libraries 
which also supports Qt extensions (signals and slots). (However, this guy 
still has to give me the code. :-/ ) One could do a similar thing for 
generating Win32 and Cocoa bindings. Then one could write Grapefruit UI 
backends based on these bindings.
