Another thing to think about would be how to do it without forking
the codebase, so that future developments would appear in both
versions.  The ideal way to do that would be to separate the GUI
code from all of the rest, so that #ifdef's in the code could build
either one.  Then there's the testing problem when new GUI features
are added:  Need to test on both types of GUI.
