I also love wheremai, but, I'm a bit confused how you could have a
graphical user interface to it without loosing too much functionality.

The next step would be to call it in appropriate locations. For me, I'm
using it from wpasupplicant action scripts, which suits me well. But
even this isn't a standard setup.

I think we have 2 problems with this approach: Whereami needs to be
integrated cleanly, and whereami needs to be configurable more easily.
