xtklib 0.1.0

The purpose of xtklib is to provide a simple, unique and complete set of API to developers that wants to create cross-platform software under the maxim "Write once, compile everywhere".
In particular, the library, provides a full abstraction layer between the APIs and the main services offered by the underlying operating system(eg. Thread, processes,GUI,Filesystem...) plus a set of generic utilities (eg. Strings,Data structures...).
Unlike other famous libraries, xtklib makes full use of all features of C++ like RTTI, Templates, Exceptions so obtaining a strongly object-oriented set of APIs with a Java-like sensation.
The library is composed by two main modules: "Base" and "Widgets". Initially, the target operating systems are Windows and Unix(Linux and BSD in primis) with a plan to move also towards other systems.
Main features:

- xHashMap: Hash table based mappings
- xAvlMap: Avl tree based mappings
- xArray: Dynamic

And many others...
Enhancements:
