Freeciv uses a lot of widgets. It is possible to do some things
differently, of course, but to make an SDL client without any widget set
at all will be extremely hard. I recommend looking at Paragui before even
considering such a project. Using that library, you can create very fancy
looking widgets (transparent and themeable).
