Yes, swin is.
You seem to be rewriting chunks of it :-)

http://raa.ruby-lang.org/list.rhtml?name=swin

The C source for swin is very readable.
A compile of this gives the DLL base which
vruby calls (vruby is all in Ruby).

I'd bang-on about it more but it's not
multi-platform so we have to use it
without the lights on.

Huge compliments to the authors of
visual-u-ruby (tempname - no mis-spelling).

<aside>
Can't a *n*x guru port swin (to, say 'sux'),
then change vruby calls to SUx::* rather than
SWin::* (when running on *n*x platforms)
so that the FreeRIDErs can use it instead of
fannying around with wxwindows ?
There'd be a real Ruby GUI.
A bit late for that, I suppose.
