Now _this_ is an idea. There's already Bruce Wampler's "V" library that allows the same code to run under X or Windows...a free version of the MFC would open up a (if we buy Microsoft's hype, anyway) whole world of painlessly ported software for Linux (and UNIX in general).
But now I'm _seriously_ off topic.
