Have you considered using a cross-development C/C++ library to help
porting?  One of the best (and free) ones is wxWindows, which is at:

http://web.ukonline.co.uk/julian.smart/wxwin/

wxWindows is available for Windows, Mac, Motif, XView, Xt and OS/2.  A
major rewrite is being undertaken to move the library to GTK.

"wxWindows is a class library that allows you to compile graphical C++
programs on a range of different platforms. wxWindows defines a common API
across platforms, but uses the native graphical user interface (GUI) on
each platform, so your program will take on the native 'look and feel' that
users are familiar with." - wxWindows Homepage

If you used it, then the cross-platform part of Cheese will have been
already done, and you can concentrate on the fun part - integrating native
windows with Morphic :-)

IMHO this might make the job of creating Cheese much easier...

cheers,
