Well, we do have a semi working solution right now at http://glis.sf.net (needs to be updated for 1.4). But I want to work something much better. I'm totally open to C/C++ implimentation, the only problem is that I am VERY new to C and don't know any C++, so I couldn't do it. Personally, I'd really like for it to be written in Python, but there is no python interpreter on the livecd. I had already been pondering C, and thus started with the idea. I'm just not sure what the advantage of C/C++ would be, especially since the backend wouldn't require any user input. But again, that is just my newbie C/C++ question.
