[Bf-committers] SDL2-based GUI toolkit for Blender (just a suggestion)

[Felipe Ferreira da Silva]

I think that Ghost cannot be sepparated from Blender without a lot of
effort, and seeing how the developers itself saying how hard is to make
changes on the layout, I wouldn't use it. Also, I do not know if I can
create new "classes" of widgets with it.
