No, you should think about this kind of things . If you want to change,
change it to something in one go, it may be more work but picking
a good solution is (IMHO) better then trying different things as one

Consider childsplay which is a Python/pygame based app.
Dependencies very few, port to windows in one afternoon.

I defenitly think that Python and the different bindings is the
future for Linux. (for most solutions)
