rm nodgui, mention nodgui-lite, yet to test its integration.

 drops SDL, SDL TTF and JPEG turbo libraries.

    the flip side of the coin will be the loss of canvas with fast pixel drawing, hardware accelerated canvas for 3D rendering and also the support for JPEG bitmap.

+Previous versions of CIEL shipped [nodgui](https://lispcookbook.github.io/cl-cookbook/gui.html#tk-ltk-and-nodgui) which, in its default form, is featureful but heavy in dependencies for us.

 The Tk toolkit is nearly ubiquitous and simple to use. It doesn't have a great deal of widgets, but it helps anyways for many kind of uses, from utility GUIs to industrial applications. Moreover, it doesn't look aweful (as it did decades ago), it has themes to look surprisingly good on the different platforms.
