I was going to ask if anyone had done this, and there you have.  Only  
the name "MrDead" might be dispiriting.  Where did that name come  
from?  If it's really from the Grateful Dead, OK, I can map that.

I offer a feeble alternative name:   MkGoo?  Goo as in GUI, k as in  
gtk.  k could also be for kontinuation if the gtk end of things  
becomes continuation-safe.  Goo also because of Mr Magoo, a cartoon  
from my youth.
