  The newer front end is event driven, and uses a timer to advance
frames. This may make it easier to integrate in the Gstreamer based
sound support. It also abstracts all the GUI code details into other
files, making the main() routine for Gnash much smaller and easer to
read. The code in gui/ is more modular and I think easier to extend than
 the existing GUI support code.
