Yes, but the GUI is not a Good Thing, it's just required for a few
utilities like the grabber. I vote that we leave it well alone. There
are a couple of projects which use it in an attempt to provide some more
functionality for us:

 - More GUI, by myself; if I need an extra widget, I put it here,
 - AGUP, by Peter Wang; makes it look nicer,
 - DIME, MAGE, etc.

But if I wanted more than even these could offer, I would definitely
write my own GUI system and forego Allegro's altogether.

Bye for now,
