We have talked about this quite a while ago that it would be cool to
have a stand alone GUI runner. I'm excited that this is now going to
happen. This has a lot of potential. For example better progress
reporting (in particular for future multi-threaded builds), minimal
startup time, structured view, .... And of course it is a perfect base
for any IDE plugin (although for Eclipse you would need SWT). 

Anyhow, excellent news

Thanks
