Most of them have a policy of not packing unreleased libraries (quite understandable if you ask me). FLTK-2.0 was never released so, as a most unfortunate side effect, we were left out of the repositories.
That makes sense, though then again I've seen a lot of "released" code in distributions much worse than FLTK-2.0... One thing I like about Windows development is that, with comparatively little effort, you can produce a single executable that runs on any Windows system. Binary compatibility isn't possible to nearly that extent on Linux/Unix -- the software, even the culture makes it limited and extremely difficult at best. Part of the reason I stopped Unix development, but I digress. I know you probably see things a bit differently. ~Benjamin
