 From pvengine.cpp:

NOTICE:
Much of this source code (all of pvengine.exe) should be considered on its last 
legs. The base code was originally written back in early 1995 (with some of the 
code even predating that), and targeted at Win32s under Windows 3.1. An 
additional constraint was a desire for the code to be able to be compiled on a 
DEC Alpha under NT for the Alpha using only a 'C' compiler, and for it to be 
able to run with or without the editor.

So I guess a rewrite of the GUI is indeed a good idea :)
