That would be a good starting point but there's a lot of aesthetic
information required if an ok-for-Windows-users-to-use UI is to be
generated from a parsable output.  If you've seen Nodeconfig you'll know
what I mean - it's not just a multi-paged dialog with lists of options. 
We would need a basic specification language to organise the options
ourselves rather than have the interface elements organised automatically.
If there's any simple tools to do this on Windows information would be
greatly appreciated!
