It's proving to be surprisingly difficult, and could take some time :(

oh well ... in the end this was quite a chainsaw massacre non the less...
Probably this is just a remainder that Yoshimi is a *massive*
and very *complicated* piece of software....
However, the approach to remove all callbacks was a good start,
because otherwise I would have missed the forest for the trees...
Basically I first removed all immediate child windows, and then
all secondary UI elements. And in a last step, I was finally able
to eliminate the SynthEngine* and any reference to InterChange.
So now I have in my 'stripdown' branch a /disembowelled/ version
of Yoshimi, which just starts the main window directly from the
first thread in main().
Furthermore, I was able to stub out the entire SynthEngine,
and just retain a bunch of empty functions, which are necessary
to get the remainder of the GUI through the linker.
This has also the nice effect, that this version could now
be built without ALSA, Jack, FFTW and MXML.
And yes, it still crashes with Wayland.
Thus we're now at the point where the actual "experiments" could start...
