Simply put I'd love to have a GL-oriented customizable GUI. Seem like 
your stuff fits the bill nicely. There were several projects that come

This is where public place + git forks/pulls could help a lot. Say add a 
contrib folder to hold various project templates people come up with for 
their favorite builds systems.
