Well, basically Hildon widgets could be just gtk+ widgets themed in a
special way, at least in theory. However, in practice I think there may
be widgets that would be easier to maintain and customize when they're
more standalone. But even in that case it would be really useful to be
able to provide the same interface for the application developers.
