MS Windows porting question

[Dan Stanger <dan stanger ieee org>]

Hello All,
I have an application back end written for xlib, and would like to port 
it to MS windows, and was thinking of using gdk to do this.
My reasoning is that I want to provide events to the application, and 
gdk seems to provide a layer that may make it easier.
Does this make sense?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Dan Stanger
