I'd say Halion would require the full-fledged external GUI.  Wasn't there a
lot of discussion about how complicated UIs should be out of process?  The
'chromed' UI I described with XML and bitmaps was to handle simple to
moderate plugins.  Halion is neither.  I'm not against providing a more
abstracted UI toolkit interface as part of (or an extension to) GMPI.  It
was suggested that I yank that from an early draft.

I don't think GMPI needs a UI toolkit, at least not in version 1.  However,
it at least needs the ability for a host app to display a graphical editor
(if the plugin has one), just as all commercial plugin formats allow today.
