    Why not just avoid the Win32 APIs and use a cross-plpatform framework like wxWindows? You can built native Windows, Linux/Unix, and Mac GUI applications from the same source code. It's also been around for about 11 years.

    that's a fine approach for 'new' applications, but this is a much faster approach for porting existing apps or using existing API skillsets.
