kde-cygwin project's port of QT X11/Free. So, yeah, the GPL'd one. And it
requires X11. So it'll be slow.

I'm having link issues -- libtool is flat out refusing to statically link in
libstdc++. (Does anyone know how to force static libstdc++ to be used?)
 
Once I get past this one, I'm going to look into making a Fox-toolkit
interface.
(Fox is REALLY fast on Windows and Unix.)

A wxWidgets interface would be neat too, but wx isn't my cup o tea.
