Thats great fulltick(FLTK is pronounced like that),
will make a happy union with Octave. Im rushing in
to make bindings for 1.1.6 version of FLTK. Lets
hope the Octave community finds it useful, and its
accepted. Natuarlly, I cannot force anyone to use
FLTK even if I want to ..

My priority willbe to get Octave-FLTK running, as an
active replacement for a nice GUI toolkit. Im keeping
fingers crossed, on the other GUI toolkit alternative
thats not doing a good job ATM.

Well, as for Fl_Gl_window, I think I can export that
interface via the binding, so you have a slower
option other than the obvious... alternative.
