Well, both.

We could choose any Unix/X11 toolkit and sidestep portability issues
with "the Mac has X11, and Windows has Cygwin and Cygwin's X server".

So far as "native" Windows/Mac versions are concerned, I consider
"native" to mean "doesn't require an X server, Cygwin etc", so
Windows/Mac versions of GTK or Qt are acceptable. As opposed to "must
use the OS' native widgets", which would limit us to wxWidgets.
