Sounds a lot like some of the projects I've been working on. Some time back
I started working on a project called Llama that runs the same in Windows
and Linux (the Linux version wrapped GTK). If you want, there's a lot of
code you can steal from that project. I stopped working on that project when
I had difficulty reconciling how the two libraries handled graphics, as well
as trouble with the wrappers.

I'm currently working on another project with the same goals, this time
creating a minimal base library from Win32, XLib and DOS on which I can
build emulated controls that will run identically on all three platforms.
