ClanLib is not bad, but it is not really the one true thing that makes
you happy till the end of all times. It has its flaws like any other
library and is known for not having the most stable API on this
planet. ClanLib-0.7 should be quite a bit better in many aspects, but
I havn't really used that one that much. There is also the problem of
lacking X11 support in ClanLib-0.7, it only has the OpenGL stuff up
and running at the moment. So in the end, using ClanLib might be ok,
but I wouldn't try it again without an abstraction layer inbetween.
About the GUI, I don't think that clanGUI could be of that much help,
its a nice piece of code, but after all its build for
mouse-interaction and I don't think that it is really useable with a
gamepad or keyboard. And as long as a GUI shouldn't use a zillion
different widges its not that difficult to develop and own, which
might serve the purpose better than a generic one.
