Since I haven't seen the source code for your FLTK2 bindings, I can't  
say for sure why there would be such a significant size difference  
between it and FXRuby. I am a little curious about how you're  
handling things like overriding virtual function calls in Ruby, as  
well as garbage collection related issues. I know that the code  
required to support those things takes up a significant part of the  
FXRuby code base.

Please do make an announcement when you get ready to release your code.
