The "port" will probably be built on GTK (requiring GTK for Windows), so it's not really a port so much as switching between using Hildon UI elements and "normal" GTK elements. It will uglify the code a little, but it won't bloat the executable.

I will start with a Maemo-specific design, since that is my priority, and I'll just keep in mind that I'll want it to (someday) work with normal GTK as well. Then, I'll change the maemo-specific bits to build differently depending on the target environment.
