You only need to implement the window system and widget rendering glue. The layout, javascript, CSS, DOM, history, etc is all platform independent.

But implementing `drawButton()`, `blitToScreen()` and similar is in no way similar to implementing a C++ compiler, as you implied.

An example of a port is here, in this directory: https://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Source/WebCore/platfor...

Sounds a lot better than I thought. Appreciate the explanation. :)
