looking for recommendation for lightweight GUI lib

Hi there,

I am working on an openembedded based image for use in a small-footprint
device with an lcd.
I need to implement a very simple GUI on this.
Full support for an X server seems overkill, I think something more
lightweight would be appropriate, because memory is very limited and this
will be a one-application kind of device anyway.
Framebuffer support is available, I think (Tux smiles at me and kernel boot
messages are displayed).

Which would be the fastest path towards having an open library available on
my device which I could use to implement a simple "hello world"-style GUI
program on this setup?
Is there a recommended image.bb file available which would build the
required software (and not too much more) which I can use?
I am working on a proof-of-concept, and need to prove something first, time
is very important right now, so am favoring the quickest solution toward a
"hello world" GUI app at this moment, and would prefer using something
already well supported by openembedded.

Any hints are appreciated.

Thanks,

Peter
