(Get the code!)
One of my little pet projects is j2c which can translate java to c++.. I've used it to translate SWT to C++ and it actually works (their demo apps run with a gtk backend).. swt has of course been a source of inspiration for dwt, both being light weight and using native widgets as far as possible but trying to hide some of the ugliness.
I sort of agree that qt is better than gtk+ these days, specially for non-linux platforms, but it's also pretty heavy weight, which was one of the reasons I didn't use it (or wxwidgets) when we left wtl behind...I also never really liked their api, build (moc) and so on but that's mostly down to taste - last time I looked was around qt3 so I'm completely out of date here as well.
the swt translation of course requires a lot of work, but it's a fun option from a leisure programming point of view, and it could be used to grow dwt into something more generally useful...
