we could try to support more platforms than "gtk" and "stdio"

Currently, urk supports two platforms, "gtk" and "stdio". All platform-specific code is in the platform/ directory of the source. Normally, urk will try to use the "best" platform possible, falling back on stdio in the worst case. The platform can be overridden by setting the URK_PLATFORM environment variable.

We could try to expand urk's usefulness by adding new platforms such as "curses" (which, unlike stdio, could use more terminal features than "read line" and "write line"), or "windows".
