Indeed -- and an interesting one, too. This may be something to
seriously consider when we have a version that actually works (for
example, 0.2 final). One question is, of course, whether the GUI
toolkit distributors are indeed interested in including anygui
modules. Who knows? Anyway, once the FBI is tried and tested, and
baselined, shipping out the back-ends is definitely a practical
possibility, and may perhaps be a rational thing to do.
