You mean you want something to take care of window initialization for you? If so, check SDL.

You can use SDL for a commercial game. Loki used it. LGPL is less strict than GPL and you can link it to non-GPL code.

yes, companies have already done so for Win32=>Linux/Mac ports of games (example: UT2K4). You just have to link the SDL as a DLL and you can use it for whar you like
