Well, this was doing exactly what it was supposed to do, just that it
didn't make too much sense. What it was trying to do is build a new
person from the Given/Surname fields. This was completely inconsistent
with the add parents, so I've changed it to be like the add parents
dialog.

Okay, the choose parents and choose spouse work similar now. There is no
longer the issue of sometimes have a text box, and other times having an
OptionMenu, depending on the number of relationships.

I think it is cleaned up a good bit. Try it out, and let me know what
you think.

Be warned - this is not fully production ready yet. I haven't had the
time to completely test it.

Good point. Done.

Because it doesn't actually delete the person (the person is still in
the database), it just removes the person as a child of the family.
