Support for non-Windows platforms #11

There's no particular reason the calculator should use Windows-specific code. It's UI is pretty simple, and could be reproduced in essentially every desktop environment on every operating system.

It seems not much more should be necessary than adopting the use of cross-platform GUI toolkit, such as:

Light-weight:

imgui
FLTK

Heavy-weight:

wxWidgets
Qt or its C++11-ish alternative CopperSpice (no meta-object compilation...)
JUCE

Each of these has sufficient documentation to cover what this calculator needs.

I should also mention that Linux availability would make it easier to test or debug for people who don't use Windows.
