EVMS GUI looks pretty interesting.  I remember using it about two years ago and 
lost quite a few days before discarding it.  The experience was so horrific I 
swore to never use EVMS until it reached real production stage.  here's hoping 
it has matured a bit since then and I'll take a stab at EVMS again this weekend.

I will let you know whether it is a rat hole or a useful component.
