I strongly agree with this sentiment.  Perhaps it is possible
to bring treectrl into the tile dev effort.  I don't think
that you would want to attempt a different tree from scratch.
It would take a good chunk of someone's time to analyze
treectrl with respect to tile stuff though (must less treectrl
by itself).
