According to my favorite GUI toolkit page at

    http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Vista/7184/guitool.html

Amulet gets a rank of "good" (which beats most tookits) and says it's a
"research-oriented toolkit from CMU. native look and feel. High-level
support for interactive interfaces: Direct Manipulation Behaviors, Undo,
Animation, etc. original project at CMU completed and No longer supported.
However, another group has picked up development as OpenAmulet."

OpenAmulet is at:

   http://www.openip.org/oa_overview.html

I didn't get a chance to read it in depth, and there aren't any screenshots,
either.Interfacing with C++ libraries can be problematic, since generally
you have to derive new classes when you create new controls - something
that's problematic when it comes to building a non-C++ interface.
