Back when TWIN was first GPLed I spent some time porting it to GNU libc from
libc5. So I have some experience and familarity with the code. TWIN is BIG.
It aims to provide cross platform win32 ABI and API support. It would be a
huge job to take TWIN and make it appropriate for embedded systems because it
is so big.
That said, I suspect that microwindows would benefit greatly if someone were to
take the windows controls from TWIN (i.e. buttons, combo boxes, etc) and make
them use only win32 calls (no TWIN internals) and make them all work with
microwindows.
