Urs has a good point.  Perhaps, as Pipmak can, but won't always, be used as
development tool, we should release two different versions: a developer build
 (for developers *using* Pipmak, not developers *of* Pipmak), and a user
build.  The only difference being that the developer build has features that
would be useful only to developers, and the user build would have these
stripped out at compile time.

Some features that would only be useful to developers that I can think of off
the top of my head:

* Highlighting controls.
* The table editor.
* Control over the grabbing.
* The Lua command-line.
* Creating a new, empty project (this would not be necessary for a copy of
Pipmak bundled with a game).
