It's wxWindows, actually.  Both the X11 (Linux/Unix) and Mac ports of Hugo
use basically the same wxWindows-based porting layer.  (The X11 version is
GTK-based; at one time they were looking at a wxQt port.)  The reason the
Windows version doesn't as well is because there was already a Windows port
of Hugo by the time I discovered it.  I had originally decided to use it
because I thought I could kill three birds (X11, Mac, and BeOS) with one
stone, but the BeOS port hasn't happened yet, and I ended up doing a native
BeOS port anyway.
