The front end would be a complete seperation of concern, with merely a 
interface "adapater" to hook over to your work. But it seems you're just not 
interested in any such thing. Okay, then. This isn't directed squarely at 
you, but I think you have really put the last capper on it for me. I will 
indeed take matters into my own hands and to a far greater degree.

Sometimes I think matz would be better off if he just closed the source, and 
his ears, and told everyone to use it or loose it.
