Yes, someone is working on this.  There is a project at AT&T called N3
(last time I checked up on it) that's trying to define a single API that
will produce either OpenLook or Motif look-and-feel, depending on which
library you link with at runtime.  Unfortunately, it's an Xt-based
programming model (unfortunate if, like me, you don't like the Xt model
in the first place), but at least it's an attempt to do the right thing.
