Quite portable, but TK brings quite a lot of baggage with it. Most
notably, it needs a copy of the TCL interpreter(for a total of about
1.2MB). You also end up running into the Java 1.0 problem, where your
interface is lowest common denominator. If you're using Lua for
scripting, TKLua makes a lot of sense, but it's much less attractive
when embedding it.
My guess is that a basic Win32 Lua windowing library could end up
under 100K. My big dillemma at the moment is related to basic
architecture: whether to go with basically a Lua interface to HWNDs, or
to have a C++ hierarchy exposed to Lua. The former would be easier and
smaller, but the latter has a big flexibility advantage.
