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

[Campbell Barton]

Ghost can be used separated from Blender, check the
"intern/ghost/test" which has a glx-gears type program for ghost and
another program that shows events (text drawing depends on blenfont
library).

That said - Using SDL or a similar library probably makes more sense
for most purposes.
