Don't know about the win32 API but Nano-X has FLNX (a port of FLTK),
TinyWidgets, and I think there is a JVM floating around somewhere. There's
also the obsolete NanoWidgets, but don't use it for new projects.

If you want to port something from Win32 (eg. a WinCE app) and don't mind
the fact that you can only run one app at once, then use the Microwindows
API. If you want to port something from X or write a new application
specifically for Microwindows, use Nano-X.

Linux 2.0, 2.2 and 2.4 (2.0 via SVGAlib as it didn't have framebuffer
support on most platforms). FreeBSD. eCos. Rtems. Protected mode MS DOS
(via DJGPP). I think there used to be a 16 bit DOS port but I don't know
if that still works. ELKS. uClinux. Probably some others that I've
forgotten.
