 name      licence               vendor
kylix  -  ??? / commercial      Borland/Inprise
gtk+   -  LGPL                  GNU
qt     -  GPL / Conmmercial     Trolltech

Qt has a nice GUI application builder but the licence is pretty restrictive
unless you pay big bucks, I've not looked at the others.

dunno what you get for free with kylix, or what you can buy.

I think all require C++ rather than C

afaik all can also produce ms-windows programs given the right compiler
etc...  not sure abpout gtk but I know gimp which uses it has been
ported...
