OK, I've emailed to four people, it's time to post!  :)

XVTDraw for Windows 3.0 is on cica.cica.indiana.edu, in one of the 
/pub/pc/win3 subdirectorues.  It works in 386 mode, but it has some bugs.

They still are.  The XVT libraries are available for Mac, Windows 3.0, OS/2
PM and Motif.  Alas, the libraries provide more or less an "intersection"
of the various systems' capabilities, not a "union".  This tends to cripple
the resulting applications to some degree, unless you also include system-
dependent code.
