I have some vague ideas about adding programmable GUI features to
Octave after 2.0.  I would prefer to make it possible for users to
easily write their own interfaces to new toolkits so that Octave is
not tied to any one toolkit in particular.  If anyone is interested in
working on this, please send me some mail.

Thanks,
