[Gambas-devel] About alternative graphical component

no it's not what I meant , the point would be that this gb.win component 
is only used when the detected OS is windows
it would have the same programming interface as gb.qt so apps made for 
use with gb.qt could be used under windows
with no change at all

I think this is also how the gtk component is meant to be built , so 
that gambas application are widget-independent
