It depends on Win32 - on a Windows system. On f.ex. Linux it depends on
whatever X11 it is running under.

In practice, the user gets the same interface as all the other stuff on the
screen merely by running the aplication - which is what I would call
"portable" and it is probably what the user expects too. (The real miracle
is that this actually *works*, unlike in Java....)

I haven't noticed anything different - but then again, I may be using just a
subset of the interface so I have not hit any of the edges yet.
