For the new GUI features I am adding I am not requiring IPython. The
GUI loop integration has no dependencies, other than being Python 2.6+
(and whichever GUI toolkit you want to use). The code to enable this
is derived from IPython, but does not import IPython.

Obviously my other work that improves on IPython integration does
require IPython. One of the places these cross paths is that the %gui
magic in IPython will actually use the new code that I am writing now.

Other than trying to test as many options as I can, I am nearly
complete this so the pull request is imminent. I don't have access to
Mac OSX, so hopefully someone else can give that a try for me once I
put in the pull request.

Thanks,
