Cross-platform equivalent of MSW "cards.dll"?

I’ve been thinking about writing a small cribbage program in my (copious!) free time, and I was wondering…

  • is there an equivalent of Windows’ cards.dll on Linux, OSX, etc.?
  • if there is some equivalent on other platforms, does wx have any platform-agnostic wrapper routines?

I realize that I can roll my own, but 1) I’d like to focus on gameplay while still having the benefit of good-looking cards (in other words I’m lazy), and 2) I like the fact that cards.dll gives a native look and feel.

Just curious… as I mentioned, this is a project for my spare time, of which there isn’t much these days. If there isn’t an existing equivalent, I’ll either use cards.dll and make this a Windows-only game, or keep it character-based for the time being. And yes, I know there are already plenty of cribbage programs out there. None of them has my name on it, though.

Thanks!

After I wrote this, I remembered Wine… I could do that, but I’m hoping for something more truly cross-platform.
