Are svgalib primitives a good idea?

[Paul Dufresne]

There was some discussions of the best way to get a nice gui for Slate some 
weeks ago.

It seems that the idea of Slate, is having CLIM as a gui.
I didn't know of CLIM before, but looking a bit a the docs it sound good, 
even
if I did not have real experience with it.

Anyway, there is a need to have basic gui primitives, to make CLIM over.

Svgalib seems to be really enough low-level for not overlapping with CLIM.
Main problem I see, is that this is for Linux only, as far as I know.

I believe it is time to open some discussion about this subject (even
if code speaks louder that words).

So what are the opinions on this?
