Sounds great!

There is a program called EditorBuilder that will read the XML
description of a patch, and then allow you to create an editor by
draging parameters onto a canvas.  It's been a while since I've worked
on it, so I can't remember exactly how finished it is.  I believe it's
possible to create editors as long as they only have one window and
use simple widgets (ie no widgets that edit multiple parameters like
envelope widgets).  I'll be finishing school in a few weeks though, so
I might actually have some time to start working on it again.=20
Especially if it's being used.
