The intent is to make a gui that can be used for on Yaroze dev tools.  The
main reason I thought it up was for the WorldMaker program that I am working
on right now.  Basically it would handle the clicking of windows and buttons
and such, much like the gtk lib used in Linux GUI dev.

As I thought more about it last night (and I was tired!) I realized that it
might even be possible to create a desktop with shortcuts to your favorite
games (that would have to be recompiled with a new start address) using PSX
File Server (unfinished) to transfer files from the hard drive.  Even though
it would not multi-task (no two games running at once), It would be nice to
have all of those games waiting for a single click.  The only downfall to
this is that the exe have to be in PSX-EXE format and I think only
codewarrior does that.  Anyway, it would be an interesting project.

Besides the above project, I will need the widget library no matter what.  I
have desided to keep the Worldmaker program on the Yaroze with a scrollable
desktop environment.  Then PSX File Server will be updated to handle the
worldmaker requests and save files (and fix an annoying bug that causes a
few people not to be able to use it!) and worldmaker will be born.

Does anyone else have a use for buttons, windows, and the like?
