I think this shouldn't be too problematic neither: PHOEBE's plotting
capability depends on a single driver function that could easily be
extended to encompass other plotting packages. Some time ago Gal and I
thought of creating a dedicated plotting facility in GTK for the 0.30
version, but so far we rely on the gtkdatabox widget. It is not ideal
for PHOEBE, but it is closest to what we need.

What I think could be difficult is the mixed C-fortran compiling and
all the autoconf magic that is now running natively. But as I
understand, Olivera would issue a pre-compiled binary version for
Windows and then only one person would have to struggle with it. ;)

We shall pick up the discussion on phoebe-devel anyway, everyone
interested is most welcome to join in!

Bye,
Andrej
