What proportion of the code for the reimplemented WxWindows would be unique to 
each toolkit (e.g. MS Windows, GTK+, Xlib, Motif, Carbon)?

My concern would be that instead of creating two libraries, one that maps C# 
to C another layer that maps C to C++, you're going to have a C# to C library 
for MS Windows, another for GTK+, another for Xlib, etc.
