I *might* have time to hack something simple this weekend. Keep in mind that
the API is in a state of flux; the Win32 and DOS libraries have drifted
apart. And things will change even more once some basic controls are
working.

For example, the DOS stuff now has a set of variables holding system colors:
WM_ActiveTitleColor, for example. This is absent in the Win32 code.

The code logic isn't that hard; most of it already exists (for example,
mgrButton). Some generic routines for centering text need to be ripped from
Dos32Lib. I'm more concerned with getting a design for the controls that's
modular enough to allow people to add new controls without too much trouble.
I'll no doubt gut a lot of code from Dos32Lib.
