Qt
Qt is a comprehensive, object-oriented development framework that enables development of high-performance, cross-platform rich-client and server-side applications. When you implement a program with Qt, you can run it on the X Window System (Unix/X11), Apple Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows NT/9x/2000/XP by simply compiling the source code for the platform you want. Qt is the basis for the KDE desktop environment, and is also used in numerous commercial applications such as Google Earth, Skype for Linux, and Adobe Photoshop Elements.

This has been announced today:

Dear Qt User/Qt Customer:
Trolltech is pleased to announce that we intend to
make Qt 4 for Windows
available under our successful dual licensing
business model. This means that
Open Source projects under the GNU GPL license
will be able to target all
major operating systems using Qt 4. We plan to
release the Windows Open Source
version of Qt at the same time as Qt 4.

So now everyone can finally stop using that inferior
toolkit with 3 letters ;)

It already is: http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/qt3-win32/
QT/Windows/Free
When that is available, call me.
patch for qt-3.1.2
To fix a problem that causes dialogs automatically close when they're called twice or more:
In "/usr/local/src/qt-x11-free-3.1.2/src/dialogs/qdialog.cpp":
line 395: void QDialog::done( int r )
line 396: {
line 397: hide();
line 398: serResult ( r );
line 399: close(); // JUST *REMOVE* THIS LINE
line 400: }
