I'd like to take a smaller task, for now. Like implementing the dummy 
UxTheme I was talking about earlier (apropos, it looks like the Wimp theme 
for GTK, my initial goal, doesn't strictly depend on UxTheme anymore). If 
anyone here is interested, especially people with Windows XP, mail me - I 
want to start working on this the soonest possible, and I need workforce 
and/or testers

Designing an universal Win32 doesn't sound like a bag of fun - you 
basically develop it as a shared-memory subsystem and then gradually 
identify the inter-process and/or kernel mode-user mode boundaries, and to 
cover the gaps you squeeze your brain trying to devise protocols that don't 
suck too much
