The GUI work is being done by Terry and me.  I would venture to say that
he's doing the majority of the GUI work, and is bearing the brunt of the
design decisions.  Together, Terry and I are pretty much replacing
everything.  If you have input/comments/suggestions, please send it
along to both of us, but many parts of the new wizard are not at all
completed yet.  The only thing that won't change a whole lot is the
OPDer, which itself is receiving a major code rewrite.

With Perl-Qt, a lot of things are a lot easier than they would have been
with Perl-Tk.  Keyboard shortcuts, window management, and dynamic event
handling are much easier with Perl-Qt.  Expect a major change from the
old wizard to the "new and improved" wizard.
