ePiX GUI

["Andrew D. Hwang" <ahwang@mathcs.holycross.edu>]

A few people (mostly Windows users, if it matters) have mentioned the
desirability of a graphical interface to ePiX. While a GUI is premature
(until the new version of the library is stable), and I don't see myself
using one regularly (to me, a mouse is a barbaric tool of wrist injury
and a poor substitute for the TAB key:), I'm sympathetic to the desire for
one. Do any of you have ideas/opinions on:
1. What an interface should look like to a user,
2. What constitutes a good interface, both from a user's perspective, and
  in terms of supporting ePiX's fundamental philosophy of mathematical
  accuracy,
3. How best to implement a graphical interface as portably as possible?
