Windows and other Questions



1) I've been wondering about this for a while now - does anyone here
know how the heck the Windows binary was made?  The readme file with it
says a little about what tools were used, but no details.  If we are
going to release for Windows at some point, it would be good to know
how to make a binary for Windows.  Does anyone know what the procedure
is?
If they do, would you be willing to write it up and submit it to the
list?  Then I could give it a try on a Windows machine we have here and
write it up in gory detail for the manual.  If need be I'll try to
figure it out myself at some point but that would most likely be less
than optimal.


2) Does anyone know what the best cross platform toolkit out there is? 
I'm wondering because my searching hasn't turned up any major graphical
interface library efforts for lisp since garnet, and I'm not really
sure how suitable or portable that is.  (It was written before Windows,
so I'm betting that would be a problem.)  If at some point in the
future we decide to jazz up the interface we would need to write an
interface to some toolkit, and I was curious if anyone had experience
here.  Currently xmaxima uses TCL/Tk, and I personally know about
wxWindows and FOX - are there any other good ones?
