And I note that there are a few scripting interfaces to fltk out there already, so unless you want to keep to the same API as Xdialog / cdialog / dialog / etc., then one of those already existing alternates might be worth a look.

ISTR that the more modern scripting interfaces have (perhaps, arguably) more capable API's than is supported by the older tools like Xdialog.
But I'm in no position to comment; I never really liked the Xdialog way (the last time I encountered it I wrote my own "dialog" wrapper instead, it only had to pop up a file chooser, so was pretty trivial to do...)

I put a project on freelancer for the conversion if anyone wants to bid on it.

I awarded the project to someone who said they were a fltk maintainer (I can't post in the fltk.coredev) , but they haven't accepted it yet.  I'll assign to another if not accepted within another day or so.
